matco tools

use a chain wrench

use a chain wrench
that may work if you left the belt on but I really dont want to risk damaging the pulley, they are $100 new and this one is brand new

matco had one but not the right one for the type of pulley I have. They carry the one that is a hex and the end of my pulley is round

if you align the chain wrench correctly it will not damage the pulley, if you wrap it in a towel it wont even scratch it. you can also use a impact wrench or if the engine is out, use 2 bolts to jam to flywheel.

alot of people will say "oh, you need the tool" and "dont do it like that, you could break it" or blah blah, its all baloney. i been doing cars like this for years with not a single issue

i may try that with the chain wrench tried the bolts and they bent and broke. I dont know if you have been doing this for years considering your only 20 (lol) but ill give the chain wrench a shot. sounds like the most reasonable method on the two forums I have this question posted on. Ill let you know how it turned out. Thanks
