Here's my far less eloquent attack on a 200q20v crankshaft  pulley.

I always put a jackstand under the socket extension near the breaker bar  to 
prevent twisting on the bolt head and socket.  I do this with for the  wheel 
bolts when doing suspension work or replacing an axle shaft as well.   All four 
tires on the ground for either of these, to prevent a nasty  fall.
 
May not matter much, but a rounded bolt head would be a huge bummer in  these 
two places.
 
Out of curiosity, has anyone broken a breaker bar doing this kind of  work?  
Last time I did a timing belt job, the breaker bar seemed like it  was under 
far more strain than my trusty craftsman 1/2-in ratcheting socket  wrench.

91 200q 20v up for grabs
88 80q running strong, although tires need daily air injection
