Do anyone know where could i get hold of crankshaft locking tool or crankshaft holding tool to remove the crankshaft pulley for changing timing belt ?

It is for my dad car's forester XT Turbo

 

You can lock the engine on the flywheel ring gear - remove the dust cover on the back of the engine and wedge a 10mm allen key on the ring gear.
Works every time.

Ok, does it work with automatic transmission ??

Good Morning bump

 

you can get then from any decent tool shop.

can be done without a tool

two 10 or 12mm bolts around 40/50mm long. slide them in two of the holes on the pulley and stick a breaker bar or tyre lever in between them. Then undo the bolt

 

Or putting a socket and breaker bar on the crankshaft pulley bolt, angle it down to the floor and use the starter motor to undo it.
