Perrin Crank Pulley Question
 

I have a Perrin lightweight crank pulley on my BRZ that I need to take off, but I have an auto so I can't just put it in 6th and take it off. My question is, does anyone know if a pulley removal tool like the one below will work on the Perrin pulley? I know it has different holes in it than the stock one, and I've only seen people use them to take off the stock pulley, so I'm not sure if it will fit.

If so, does anyone have a pulley removal tool that they don't need anymore? Willing to buy, just name your price.

For auto .. IIRC there was way to get it undone on auto also using starter motor.

go to your local car parts store, they usually have a universal crank pulley removal tool you can buy/rent

i had to get one, even in 6th gear, my crank bolt wouldn't loosen
just grab a friend and have them hold one side

Just out of curiosity can I ask why your pulling it off?

Kind of a weird story, but when I got my car tuned, the tuner had a deal on the pulleys, but they only had the black ones in stock. They offered free installation on it while they tuned it, so I got one for $110. That's the reason why I don't have the tool in the first place.

Fast forward about 6 months and I go to the Perrin Garage Sale. There, I find a red crank pulley that has a tiny scratch on the back, but since it's "imperfect" it was only $40. So I got those as well as a set of "imperfect" red accessory pulleys for $50. The plan was to put on the accessory pulleys, and swap out the black crank pulley for the red one, to match the red theme of the engine bay (strut bar, belt covers, etc.) and then sell the black one, which from what I've seen, should sell for more than $40.

So, it's mainly just a cosmetic reason, (I guess I could've just said that... :iono: )

Ah makes sense , was just wondering as I have the red set and thought maybe you had an issue with yours, was nervous about installing but I see all is good.
