re. Crank Bolt - A4

[Bhatti, Mohammed]

Mine's an auto.  Would that make a difference or do I simply pop into D?
 
Thanks

	Don't do that!
	 
	I generally block the wheels and put in gear (3'rd gear good).
	 
	A4 may be different than 4k/5k etc, but I don't see why.

	[Folks,
	 
	Gotta a question.  Finally got around to doing my t-belt and water pump on my A4 1.8tq.  I have taken the nose of the car off, took off all the belts and removed the water pump.  A friend suggested changing the crank and camshaft seals as well.  Question is, how do I loosen the crank bolt to get at the seal.  He suggested the old "jamming the screwdriver in the flywheel" trick.  This sounds to risky to me.
	 
	Any other ideas?  Can I rent a crank locking tool from Zelenda or any other source?
	 
	Thanks
