Crankshaft pulley tool, anyone have it that

[90CherryTSI]

can let me borrow it for a couple days? The one that breaks the main bolt loose and screws into the smaller support holes? I'll pay shipping both ways or if local to Austin TX I'll pick it up. Feedback on Ebay is all positive, I'd only need it for a day or so. If not who sells em? Hate to buy a tool for one time thing but if I gotta.....I thought sloboy sold em but can't find em...thanks

If I'm not mistaken, you can rent them from Autozone for about $15.

Im not sure if you have access to an impact gun, not sure if its the best advice but thats what i used, although i forget what size the socket is. Using the impact gun you dont have to worry about turning the crank if you set the pressure low enough and let it slowly break free. The reason they tell you to use that tool is so that you dont move the crankshaft. It's up to you how you want to go about doing it, but i thought i'd share what i did. My results were excellent in that it broke free very easily and there was no movement at all in the crank.

Good Luck,

I have one....if you still need to borrow it, drop me a PM. As a side note for future ref. Dejon sells them.

Just use a large pipe wrench to hold the crank, and break the center bolt free with a breaker bar.
