Grassroots Motorsports 168 TECH: TRY THIS AT HOME Try This at Home Remove a Stuck Crank Pulley Bolt With a DIY Strap Wrench Don't let a frozen crank pulley bolt stop your timing belt change in its tracks. 1. Loop the old accessory belt around the crank pulley. 2. Run both sides of the belt over an avail- able accessory pulley. 3. Anchor the other end of the loop on a third pulley. 4. Rotate the crank pulley and take up the belt slack by letting the crank pulley end pinch the belt under itself. 5. When the last of the slack is gone, the belt should immobilize the crank pulley completely, allowing you to apply gobs of bolt-loosening torque.–Scott R. Lear
