Hi the guys and girls
Gonna be taking the crank pulley off but gatting together the stuff i need.
Can anyone tell me the thread size for the 2 holes in the pulley to a) hold it with a special home made tool to undo the bolt and b) to then pull it off with a puller??
It looks about M8 from memory but this being a toyota will the pitch be standard M8 whatever that is.
Thanks in advance

You are correct in that it is a standard M8
Good luck

..the only thing I can promise for sure is slow progress.

just have this niggling thought that if I rip out the wiring, then the car will never get out of the garage again.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Crank pulley removal
Thanks for that skywalker
5 mins pondering how to lock off the crank then 10 mins and a 4 foot bar to get the leverage to over come the pulley nut and job done.
As the engine is on a stand i put in a couple of the flywheel bolts and then a lever in them that wedged on the stand. Then a 4 foot bar over my breaker bar and a little heave ho and the bolt was off.
I had been told the pulley wouldn't need a puller but i had to use a puller to release it. Because of this thread i had 2 m8 bolts to hand for this.

Funily enough a mate offered to loan me his compressor and air tools yesterday. I think he just wants to store them in my garage and not his lol
Over the years i have "adapted" tools and bits of metal to get the job done but now i try and get the right tool first time.
If the engine wasn't on the stand with the flywheel off i would have locked it off that way with plate and 2 bolts in the flywheel and the block. (thats how i locked it to undo the flywheel to crank bolts.
Re: [Mk2] [NA] Crank pulley removal
here's one i made , half the fun is making a new tool
i used a cordless dewalt 18v impact wrench to get the bolt off ,didnt have to lock the pully,took a couple of battery recharges but it came off
