I think the FSM actually has you has you using an SST to drive the pulley on:
View attachment 1930103
I used the 46MM socket on mine. Maybe a short 4X6 block with a hole cut in it for the crank to pop through. Just a few light taps to seat it. Order I used was:
- Place timing cover on engine with bolts finger tight keeping proper location of the bolts (they go in specific places, Be sure to put sealant on two bottom hex head bolts).
- Light coat of MP grease on crank and on the inside lip of the timing cover crank seal. Slide pulley on shaft aligning it with the woodruff key. Should slide on easily.
- Tap pulley into place to seat it into the timing cover seal. I used 46MM socket on the center of the pulley and just 3-4 light taps to seat it in place. Make sure the socket has enough clearance to not impact the end of the crank as you tap the pulley on.
- Oil the inside of the claw nut where the threads will contact the crank. Start it on the crank.
- Tighten the timing cover bolts to proper spec
- Torque the pulley/claw nut on the crank. Be sure to keep the pulley stationary using the threaded holes in the pulley and some type of tool to keep the force of tightening the crank pulley from spinning the engine over. There is some risk of damaging the pulley if using ratchet traps around the belt area to keep the pulley from moving while tightening the claw nut.
I used two bolts and an AC clutch tool to keep mine in place when torqueing the claw nut, but could not recommend that method. If I did it again I would fashion a proper tool to keep the pulley stationary while torqueing the nut. On FJ60 torque is 116-144 ft. lbs. Don't over do it here or you risk bending up your timing cover.
If you have the FSM I would definitely give it a look before doing this work. Its a lot of steps all at once so its a little chaotic, especially if using sealants of any sort so you want to have in your head the basic steps so you don't have to refer to the FSM. But follow the FSM word for word (which makes no mention of the use of gasket sealants btw) and your truck will thank you. HTH.

Robert,
I have FSM in hand and most parts. I may fab something this week to hold pulley. If it rains this weekend (no coaching or games) this will get accomplished.
Did you have any coolant on those bottom bolts, the long ones?
Thank you, Marc
