I have taken my timing belt off several times by just loosening things up. But reading closer, are you wanting to know how to get the crank pulley off when the engine is out? Hmm that should be rather easy. In fact we just did it tonight on a B16. Requires putting 2 fly bolts back in, and a flat bar.

yeah you can jam the flywheel from turning... the thing is I don't know how tight the bolt is on a B16 but I can almost guarantee the Supra crank pulley bolt is going to be a lot tighter. you're going to have to get a buddy to help you hold the engine stand so you don't tip the whole thing over.
that or you can use one of those crank pulley holders that use a belt or chain and you won't really have to worry about the engine tipping over.

I used a chain wrench and a 1/2" breaker bar with a long pipe attached to get mine off. I think you better have people to hold the stand in place while you attempt it.
1.there is a plastic cover behind the crank pulley so you have to pull the pulley off.
once the bolt is loose you will need a puller to take it off and also inspect the channel on the pulley and make sure its not cracked cus it happens
2.you can use 2 pair's of vise grips to hold the pulley just wedge them under and find a hard pice of plastic to put between the plier jaw and pulley so that it doesent get scrached then get a breaker bar and large pipe.
3.you can use a impact just have to pull the radiator and what ill do is hold the cut of on the compressor so that it builds 180PSI or more then let her have it.
4. also look for oil under the sproket incase the FMS is leaking u can change it at the same time
hope this helps

the torque spec for that bolt is 239ft/lbs so you might not be able to get it with an impact. An impact gun wouldn't brake mine loose, that thing was really on there. I would also replace the FMS while you are there.

Snap on sells a tool that screws into the spark plug hole and stops the piston from moving....We just did this on a friends car

The damn bolt is a no go. I'll have to actually wait til the engine is back in so I can lock the crank via the rear wheels. Seems like the easiest thing to do unless someone's got some good ideas. I know I could've taken off the oil pan and jammed a 2x4 in there to stop the crank from moving but I don't really feel like doing that.

What did you use to stop the crank from spinning? By the way you won't have much luck locking up the wheels or putting it into gear and doing it by hand even with the brakes pressed.. The car will still want to jump forward and there is also some dead play which you're going to have to overcome before the bolt even begins to take some torque to snap loose... that dead play can toss the breaker bar right back into your head :nono:

I think you are missing what Stu was trying to say. Your engine is out of the car, so go take a piece of say 1/4 think aluminum plank. You should be able to find something similar at Home Depot. It will be around 1.5-2" wide, 1/4" thick and however long you buy it (make sure it is long enough to touch the ground from whatever height your engine is at). Now drill two hole's in it so it lines up with 2 of your flywheel bolts. Bolt it on with two flywheels bolts to the block. Now one end of the bar should be touching the ground at an angle. This will keep the motor from turning as you try and remove the crank bolt. Have some people hold the engine while another person takes a long pipe and a breaker bar and removes the crank pulley bolt. It should come off pretty easy with a long rod and a good size breaker bar. Using a 2x4 jammed into your crank doesnt sound like a good idea.Ascari_2 said:
