Crank lock tool sources?

[L DC]

Hi Robert,

Do you use that 'spring bar' type prybar to lock the
crank pulley on the 5 cyl engine? If so, do you recall
how exactly you positioned it so that it would not
slip/score the pulley?

Also did you loosen the pulley with engine in car bay
or out?

Take care and TIA,

-Louis
