Anyone know where I can find a crank pulley holder (50mm) such as this one?

Just curious, what do you need it for? (what procedure are you doing?)

Got mine at crappy tire.

Timing belt change (while doing the headgasket, water pump as well)

MPR

Ahh. Did mine (timing belt & water pump) without one. Although, if you don't have an extra hand I can see how it would come in handy.

Got mine at variety tools for 25$ I believe. Comes in handy when doing clutch (to hold the crank) or doing timing belt. Be prepared to struggle. Those things are torqued to insane ft/lbs. Also me being skinny, I don't have much weight to push on the breaker bar...so every time was quite the challenge.

Damn I checked crappy tire, TSC and princess auto and none of them had it :/

Quick question, I could just use an impact gun instead right? I mean I can get access to a pretty heavy duty impact gun, the only thing is won't this spin the belt without the pully holder?

Use a heavy duty impact gun. And no, the belt won't spin.. it's still under tension from the tensioner

If not, call up a snap-on truck, they have the holders typically on the truck.

Air tools ftw!

Thing is when I stick a socket on the crank pulley bolt it just continues to spin the pulley and timing belt

MPR

^Have a friend jam a large flat-head screwdriver in the teeth of the fly wheel to brace it...

I finally found a pulley holder like the one above, the canadian tire in stoney creek has it, going to grab it tonight and see if I can get it off with the impact gun -- I was going to try the crew driver but didnt want to take a chance it would break one of the teeth

MPR

^Impact gun should pull it off even without the tool. Came right off when I did mine.

Still a good tool to have, especially if working alone...

The screwdriver will bend/break before you damage a tooth on a flywheel... they're pretty damn tough. lol.

It spins the timing belt when I stick a socket on it, I guess that really wouldn't matter though since I would make sure the timing of the belt itself is correct after pulley the crank pulley off right?

MPR

There are marks on the crank, crank pulley and cams to help you make sure everything is at TDC.

Service manual is your friend

Also, the reason the crank spun when you were using a socket/ratchet was you are creating a fulcrum point and you physically spin the shaft. Impact gun does just what the name says, yes the crank will/may move a little when using a gun, but the bolt WILL come out.

But since you got yourself a holder, be prepared to give er a lot of force to crack the bolt loose.
