Re: crank
yes it will, but its just so much easier to use a socket on a large breaker bar and have a friend crank the ignition over while you hold the bar steady.

WTF? Dangerous? You mean like for the same dangerous the shop manual has in mind when it tells you to disconnect the neg terminal on the battery to change a tire dangerous? I use a 1/2" breaker bar thats 3 feet long, then I take the end of my floor jack (another 3foot section of steel tube) and put that over the breaker bar for extra leverage. 2 clicks from the starter with putting barely ANY resistance on the breaker bar and the bolt is a full turn loose. This should go without saying but when i was doing it the car was completely together. (A/C condenser, radiator, fans) and i had no room for an impact gun.

Re: crank
using the starter, though frightening the first time, is a fantastic and safe way to do it. I just slide a plastic pipe over the handle of the break-over and let it rest on the fender and crank away! Works like a flash.
Any other way is a waste of time... Please select the proper fender Keith |

Edit: I have read of someone successfully drilling 4 holes in a 2x4 to line up with the four holes in the pulley. Then they drilled a big hole (probably used a hole saw) in the middle for the socket to pass through. They inserted 4 bolts through the 2x4 and pulley, and used it to back up the pulley as they removed the bolt. MUCH SAFER! (though more time consuming)
