    About the crank shaft pulley - an impact driver takes it right off. I didn't even bother with the pneumatic one - my handy 18v Dewalt worked like a charm (you see it in one photo). And yes it's Bart's write up that I link to:

    My problem was that I didn't have an impact driver, electric or otherwise. Another member here (VXorado I think) told me about the breaker bar against the frame trick. I was a little creeped out about it, but it worked just fine.

    But, yes, and impact driver would be the way to go.
