Crankshaft pulley removal
#21
That Schley tool is for reusing the tensioner. Flightguy is removing and replacing the tensioner with a new one.
You can replace it without messing with the a/c. I did it with this set up. 1/4" ratchet, ext and wobble socket.

Got it all finally finished. Took me about three weeks of on and off working on it. Lots of little small things I had to buy. I don't have any pictures, but I can tell what I did.
00 sr5, automatic, not a 4x4
So I got many of the parts off without a hitch following guide on here. I removed the ps pump from the bracket, and hung it with a bungee. I also removed the air box on the right side. It made a huge difference by giving me more room.
I used a chain wrench around the crankshaft pulley, using an old accessory belt to keep from messing up the grooves on the pulley. Got the pulley off (eventually) with PB blaster.
The water pump went on without an issue, and I got the timing belt on. That took me about 45 minutes of trying to figure out to get it. After compressing the tensioner pulley, there was still a lot of resistance between the crankshaft pulley and the right camshaft pulley. With the wp guide, and the guide between the camshafts, there was too much tension getting the belt on, and positioned correctly.
So, I removed the guide between the camshafts, threaded the belt from the crankshaft pulley to each of the camshaft pulleys. To keep the belt on the camshaft pulley, I used a wood clamp to hold it in place. When they were all in place, I installed the guide between the camshaft pulleys. And it worked well.
I put the whole thing back together, and tried to get it started. Eventually, it worked. I say eventually. That's where this next thread comes in.
