My friend is rebuilding my 02 spec v engine and is replacing the timing chain and to hold the crankshaft pulley he needs a crankshaft pulley holder, but the product is nowhere to be found!!! There IS, however, a camshaft pulley on amazon and ebay. Can that be used or is there another product I need? HELP please.

Anybody? :'(

as far as I know, a bolt is what holds the pulley on. there is also a key that aligns the pulley properly. are either of these what you need?

Thank you for the response!! My friend said the bolt is on too tight and to loosen it he needs something to hold the pulley in place, which is what a crankshaft pulley holder does. But I can't find that product anywhere for nissan and I'm wondering if the camshaft pulley holder would do the job.

can you put the belt back on and try to just break the bolt loose? dont take the pulley off with the belt on tho. another thing i can think of, doesnt the crank pulley have holes in it, maybe a crowbar or heavy screwdriver to prevent it from spinning while breaking the bolt loose? ie proper application of leverage always works here

I always use an impact wrench to remove the bolt. sometimes you need a puller to get the pulley off. If you don't have those, you can rent them.
