Crankshaft immobilizer tool for the miser at heart

[DePenning, Charles [FRCO/MTN]]

Because of the socket on the big bolt.  There is just enought room for the
socket and the bar to peacefully coexist.  The bar will not slip off- even
when loosening and standing on the breaker bar with a 4' cheater.  When the
bolt is that tight, it does tend to deform the end of the bar that is in the
pulley, but that is easily fixed by use of a bfh for adjustment.

Not that I doubt it works but I don't get it.  What are the pivot
points on the bar inside the pulley?  Why dosen't it just rotate off
the edge of the ridge inside the pulley?
