Any other way to hold the pulley still without the special tool?


I broke the bolt (don't ask how) and I need to get it out.

 

yeah, there is. This assumes your tranny is off, but all you have to do is stick a double sided open end wrech between the littl **** on the flywheel and one of the tranny mounting bolts (you put it back in).
Now, if you have the tranny on the car, I don't know what you should do. how did you break it anyway?? you couldn't have used your bare hands. -C

 

@ the shop i work at we just stick a screwdriver in the teeth of the flywheel and lock the motor while someoneremeoves the bolt.

 

u broke the bolt? wtf??? ur screwed man. what happened, did the head snap off? if it did then the pulley should just slide right out off. try n to get that bolt off is gonna be hell man.

Using an impact gun usually gets it off but u have to keep hitting it with the gun. takes a few try's, but it will come off
