Crank pulley tool I can borrow?

[brzzy]

Hey everyone, wondering if anyone in the GTA/Vaughan area has a crank pulley tool they wouldn't mind letting me borrow for a day. I don't mind paying a small rental fee from you if anything. Thanks!

If you're installing a lightweight crank pulley, you should be able to remove the bolt using a breaker bar.
There's a DIY somewhere on this site with the socket size too.
That's how it was done on my car.

Yeah. Did it with a breaker bar no problem. The issue is putting it back on its doable without the tool and a breaker bar/torque wrench. But there's a tool for a reason.

Anyways, already ordered up a new bolt and I'm going to re-install next week.

Ah, gotcha.
Purchasing a torque wrench is a good idea...

Whoops. Spelling error in my above post. What I meant to say is:

It's doable with JUST a breaker bar and torque wrench. Which is what I used.

But using the tool means not stressing the engine components and it'll likely be much easier to torque and get that 90 degree rotation out of the bolt.

anyways, I don't think there's anything wrong with the install. Car is running fine, pulley doesn't wobble. The bolt is 3+ years old and has some dirt on it + is the original bolt, not a new one because I didn't want to wait 2 days for the dealer to get me one - I'm impatient. But I'm going to order up a pulley tool and a new bolt anyways and reinstall just for piece of mind.
