Having a problem removing the pulley bolt. Any <br>suggestions?

I'm not sure if this will work on a Supra, but I did see it work on a toyota tercell once. First, make sure the shaft rotates clockwise. Use a breaker bar, put the socket end on the bolt and the handle against the cement floor in your shop, about the four o'clock position. Then pull the coil wire and crank the engine until the bolt comes out. When I saw the guy do this, I couldn't believe it. The bolt backed out neat as hell and was done in seconds. I guess its a trick a lot of Japanese mechanics have been using.<br><br>Now, if you already have the belt off or loose, DON'T do this, you could impact the valves. The pully itself should stay put, they're usually pressed over the shaft with a woodruff key to hold them. You should have to use a wheel puller to get it off the rest of the way, but that's a snap.<br><br>Whatever the case, stop cranking when the bold comes out most of the way and do the rest by hand. If you don't have two people, crank it and check it, all you really want is the bolt to get past that initial loosening point.<br><br>If you feel the least bit nervous about this, don't do it. I'm a little nervous recommending it because I only SAW this done once, you might call a Toyota shop and ask if it can be done...

My manual says to remove the flywheel cover and jam a screw driver in there between the teeth. Sounds simple but I don't know. At least we don't have front drive where it's hard to see. I'v heard and experienced many belts off 1 tooth when back yarders attempt belt R and R. don
