bolts to remove the crankshaft pulley Options

[Snarfer]

Does anyone have the specs on the bolts used to retain/remove the crankshaft pulley on the 5sfe. On the pulley there are two holes on either end and these are used to base a prybar when breaking loose the pulley bolt, and then used again to hook upto a harmonic puller to pull the pully off of the crank. The toyota manual just says use one of their tool, which I don't want to buy. Does anyone know what bolts they used to fit in those holes? thanks.

Don't have to use those holes... get a pronged pulley puller... it has these little legs that grab the pulley and such... i'm a wee bit tired now... but if you still need a better description... i'll reply tomorrow... assuming nooone else will say anything...

Oh ya I hadn't thought about that, I do have a gear puller that would probably fit around the edges of the pulley. I still want to find out he bolt specs, it will make breaking the bolt easier then jamming the flywheel.

i think i spent 2 hours working on that bolt to take it of tried everything from the way th book says it to heating it up , impack wrench , eberything, then i came back later, i just sat down put the impack on it and it screwed right out , have no clue why, but anyway the gear puller well just fine

I got it off last night. I had my dad jam the fly wheel with a prybar up against one of the dowels that the transmission that slips on. and put a breaker bar to it. I just have a cheap electric impact that only has 240 ft*lbs on it so it couldn't take it off. I guess if you have one of those 3/4" 600 ft*lbs it'll come off nice and easy.
