Funny how nobody said to use an air gun. Because that won't work on a Mk3 supra either. I've taken crank pulleys off alot of different vehicles before and an air gun gets most of them off, but most of them are not torqued to 195ft/lbs. Some are torqued to 100, some lower, some higher but not 195.

And now lets think about putting it back on, say you use the starter bump method, ok, now what? How are you going to keep the crank from spinning clockwise? Lets say you use the car in gear and ebrake on method. You aren't going to be able to torque that crank bolt no where near 195ft/lbs. And you certainly won't get it that tight with an air gun. This is where the prybar method works both ways without any problems. I'm going to be totally honest with you now, I only torqued my crank bolt to 150ft/lbs (I said that in my BHG post) because that was the highest my 1/2" torque wrench went (that 3/8" digital snap on only goes to 100ft/lbs). I actually torqued the crank bolt myself, pry bar in my right hand and torque wrench in my left. And when that thing hit 150 it made a click like I've never heard a torque wrench make. But when I had to get it off, I held the prybar and I had a friend loosen the bolt.

You might have a problem fitting the prybar tip inbetween the flywheel teeth with alot of duct tape on there, but just use your discretion.
