Re: Crankshaft Pulley Bolt

My favorite method for immobilising the engine for this project 
(before I got an electric impact wrench) was the "rope trick"-- pull 
# 1 spark plug, turn the engine up to nearly the top of the 
compression stroke (before or after TDC, depending on which way your 
going), and to feed a length of soft nylon rope into the combustion 
chamber.  Didn't seem to do any harm...
