crank shaft pulley puller

First, to get the crank pulley off you are going to have to take the starter out and jamb the flywheel with a prybar through the hole the starter goes in, that is the only way you are going to prevent the crankshaft from turning while you try to loosen the crank pulley bolt. And by the way the crank pulley bolt is 19mm not 21mm. Have a friend hold the pry bar while you crack that sucker loose. Once its off, if you can't just slide the crank pulley off, you can "walk" it off with a flathead screwdriver. Lay under the car with your feet sticking out of the front end and your head just behind the pulley, now use the shank of the flathead on each 'side' of the pulley, do not pry at it with the tip of the screwdriver. It will take you a while and it will seem like its not doing anything, but just get up and look at how much the crank has moved away from the lower timing belt case to see your progress. Should take you about 30 minutes to take the pulley off that way.
