timing belt issues

[kbogach]

You don't have remove 4 smaller bolts to remove pulley.
I don't understand how it is possible to remove large bolt without special
tool (2084) using hand tools. If you use power tools then it is possible. I
saw how mechanic held crank pulley with the wrench for cam gear (used on
some cars) while another mechanic used an air gun.  The wrench is like a
crescent with handle attached at the middle of the it and 2 pins on  both
ends of crescent. They had to grind the pins to fit inside the pulley recess
(where bolt is).
