Re: Any pictures/diagrams for a homemade crankshaft pulley tool?

I'd rather the tool doesn't leave my house, to be honest.

I tried my local subaru dealer about a year ago on some tools, and they told me that they don't usually supply them to customers. I said that I would be willing to deal with their tool vendor directly, but they declined to give me the information. They called me back saying a wrist pin puller and circlip pliers would cost a few hundred a piece or some crazy amount. So I went to harbor freight and spent 30 bucks on tools to modify and make work. Mission accomplished.

The point I am trying to make is that there is often a tool or materials readily available if you have a little ingenuity to spare.

As far as renting a tool, I am not sure if there is a place that would do it. I tried MAC tools, MATCO, and Snap-on. No one had something that would work without guess and check.

It would be easiest to just make one. Then you have it forever.

EDIT: someone found a crank pulley tool for a ?legacy? a while back on ebay. Haven't ran across an SVX one yet.
