Also change anything else prone to failure at your milage while you're in there. I just tore through mine. Demso alternator, water pump, modded clutch fan etc. Joey has most all the parts you'll need

Ordered this crank holder tool. Worked like a champ.

Toyota Lexus FZ-Series Engine Crankshaft Pulley Removal Tool Land Cruiser LX450 | eBay

The tool is held into place with the supplied bolts, which are threaded into the pulley holes. This tool is required when removing or installing the crankshaft pulley for several Toyota/Lexus models.

Bought a 3/4 breaker bar and Tekton torque when along with 30mm socket. Honestly was a hundred times easier than I thought it would be. Having the correct tools made it easy.

The only part I found sketchy was the oil pump housing screws. Joey gives you The Best Quality bits to remove the factory Toyota Phillips screws. I ended up using my Milwaukee 1/2 impact to remove the stubborn two the seemed to want to strip out. Firm solid pressure on them and they backed right out. Such a relief.

Figured I type it all out for the next person looking during a search.

Hope yours goes well

Get a cheap set of picks and spend some time cleaning out the heads if the screws after hitting them with degreaser. Use a impact if have one and push hard on the back of the drill to ensure good purchase.

I got all mine out without any fuss this way.

I made sure my screws were thoroughly degreased and clean before I attempted. Great call @davidp14 I forgot to mention that very important step.

I went back and looked at my build thread about this. apparently I only paid $12 for the rental tool

Also I replaced almost everything I took off with new parts. While You're In There (WYIT), or "how many times do you want to tear this thing apart?"

I skipped the pully holding tool and used the 14mm socket on the flex plate method. Worked like a champ.

Use the 3/4" harbor freight breaker bar with my 4ft jack handle over it for leverage. Didn't have to pull hard to break the nut free with that.

I also bought a 600ft torque wrench on amazon for the install. It's also 4ft long so plenty of leverage to get it correct.
