any ideas of how to get a crank pulley /bolt off , got an air gun at work but at home only got my big half inch bar to try crack the bolt off but im sure if i do that itl turn the engine over , any easy way of lockin the engine up?

 

put ingine in 4/5th gear, hand brake on.

this is what i done to undo mine, and iff needed, get someone to sit in the car with the foot brake on

 

As above or make a tool with 2 prongs on the end of a bar , the 2 prongs slide into the holes on the crank pulley allowing you to hold it in position while someone else then undoes the bolt that is what i made .

as above...
get a 22mm socket and pullbar!!!
theres not enough room for airguns to fit in without removing radiator...

 

5th gear and 22m socket did mine.

 

get a long extension bar with the socket on,put it onto your crank bolt and wedge it somewere solid.then turn the ignition so the engine just cranks and that will crack the bolt off enough so you can undo it with the spanner.just make sure you no which way the engine pulley turns so you wedge it at the correct side, as if you dont when you turn the engine the pulley bolt will tighten further.did this with mine,worked a treet.

 

nice one peoples thanks alot for the help , will let ya know how i get on tomorrow cheers
