No, it's standard threaded.

You'll have to hold the crankpulley stationary then use a wrench/impact to loosen the bolt.

A powerful impact gun paired with a good compressor has always worked for me. Many people will recommend the crank pulley tool and a breaker bar, but I find the air tools much quicker and easier.

When I get that off, what else will have to come off to get that timing belt on? I already took off the valve cover, took off the belts. The crankpulley was in the way of timing belt and the timing cover. I got the top half of the cover off. FYI the motor is still in the car.
I noticed that the motor mount is in the way of placing the timing belt on the cam and over the water pump and crankshaft? thanks for the help again man.

get the tool that holds the pulley, you can find them on ebay for like $30 shipped.

the mount will be in the way of the timing belt.

You will need to support the motor, remove the motor mount (just enough to get the timing belt around it, remove the crank pulley, the valve cover, the two timing belt plastic covers, and of course the belt and water pump.

I would also use this opportunity to replace the valve cover gasket if it's hard and/or leaking, and it would also be the time to replace your other belts too.

be sure to pay special attention to the timing belt tensioning procedure. be sure to only turn the motor counter clockwise. You don't want your cam timing off.
