Howdy! I use a cable come along, triple wrapped around the pulley, and anchored to the frame. As you turn the wrech, the caable chokes down on itself, getting tighter. Reverse the wrap direction for installation. I've done this more than once. John
 
What's your timeline look like Rob? I am doing a timing belt on the 4runner in the next few weeks (still nailing down the date), and will have the toyota part equivelent tool on loan for a day...maybe we can do em together?
 
Take the old belt (you're going to replace it...right?) and cut it to fit around the pully. Then take a chain wrench and wrap the it around the pully...that will capture the pully and give you the leverage to hold it while removing the bolt. BTW...That bolt on the 2nd gen 4Runner I did was 250lb's or something crazy like that. I had to stand on the damn thing to get it off. The chain wrench at snap on is ~$40, I'm sure you can find it cheaper.
The cheaper option is Kevin's tool...i'm sure it works too...

Mine's a work in progress and not very mobile at the moment. With any luck, I'll have it done before you start.

Oh, he always answers the phone, what else does he have to do?:)

Howdy! I thought you old fellers:p didn't have to do that kind of stuff :wrench:on store bought teeth!!!:hillbilly:

I'm going thru a similar deal. An old crown/root canal got infected:whoops: down at the jawbone. The fix is fun. :banana::banana::banana::banana: I have learned:idea: 3 things from this:

It's amazing :clap:what they can do with dental technology nowdays!

It's amazing :bang:what insurance companies don't want to pay for!

It's amazing :flipoff2:how far you can bend the arms on a dental chair when the Novocain isn't working 100%!:crybaby::pig:

Have a nice day........when it's all over! :beer::beer::beer::beer:
 
No ... we have better drugs for that. The :beer: is child's play :flipoff2:
 
Just use a breaker bar and place it next to the frame a bump the starter to remove the bolt. The pulley should come off by hand. Getting the cam pulley off to replace the cam seal is another story. For that I take the old timing belt and wrap it around the pulley 360 deg and clamp the belt together with a vice grips so that I can hold the pulley like a chain wrench while I use a breaker bar to remove the bolt.

One broken breaker bar later.......:whoops:
Nut no move.
 
What the hell did they torque that bolt to, 50,000 N/m? Might be time to get out the torch and add a little heat and try again.

Do you have any projects that go smoothly? This is starting to sound like the starter fiasco!;p
 
I'm having major trouble not posting sarcastic comments about Kevin's brother lacking access to the right tools for a job. WTF?

Projects that go smoothly are called tasks:p

The breaker bar in question was a 17", 3/8 drive. Handy tool but to light for that job.:meh:
