On the 948 and 1098 engines the crankshaft pulley bolt is 1 5/16". Don't
know about the 1275. I just went to my local family owned hardware store
and the guy rented me a socket and 3/4" to 1/2" drive adapter for $2. I was
going to buy it, but when I told him I only needed it to remove one bolt he
told me to save my money and rented one to me. Good service!
