Secure crankshaft pulley

[zendriver]

I have to remove the crankshaft pully on the 97. I don't have enough compressed air, to use ian impact gun so I'm going to have to use a breaker bar. I also don't have a chain wrench or a strap wrench heavy enough to hold the pulley while I turn the nut.

 

Any workarounds?

you could position the breaker bar so it it is wedged against the ground or frame than crank the engine for a short moment.

^This, but pull your coil wire first, so it doesn't start...

You should look into an electric impact gun. I have a Rigid R6300 heavy duty corded electric impact wrench that is rated for 450ft/lbs of torque. I've done about 8 timing belt changes and it never had a problem breaking free the crankshaft bolts. I've also used it to break free the bolts on my trailing arms with no problems. I've had it for 10 years and it's the best tool I've ever owned.
