when I took mine off the crank was easiest, it was the alternator that was a pain in the ***. Just leave the belts on and you should be able to crack the nuts off.

Nuts off the crank pully was pretty easy. But the pulley seems to be seized on tight. Will a few hits with the hammer help it lol

There are holes in the old pulley that you can wedge something strong into. Rotate the engine round until whatever you have used is wedged against the chassis below the radiator.

It may sound like a pain but I took my radiator out, it also prevents you slipping off the bolt head and twatting the rad.

Or measure the distance between the holes, get some bolts welded to a bar and use it to lock the pulley, I borrowed one. JDM car's have different distances between the holes to a UK car.

Subaru do have a special tool if you know someone who's very friendly at the local Dealer.

Oh and mine was a JDM V5 STi.
