Re: crank

Use a flat blade driver of the proper size to jam the teeth on the flywheel/torque converter. Then use a large breaker bar to crack it loose... Remove the driver and use it on the opposite side to re-torque the bolt. I insert it between the exhaust manifold and the oil pan... Just be sure it is a good fit in the teeth less you want to pull the trans to replace the parts you broke a tooth on.

If you really want to get it right, Tim's brother is selling the special tool that is meant to hold the crank pulley... But its like $250... So, up to you

Tom

Edit: Also, do not use anything through the timing hole on the back of the block to jam the felxplate... You will damage the flex plate
