[s-cars] 3B crank locker tool

[Robert Rossato]

Yo Abe,

Well if you can't find one locally, I have one... along with the 2079
extension for torqueing.... and as you already know, I have the big ass 3/4"
dr. breaker bar... and BATWrench.

For removal without said tool, you could always try the old rope in the
cylinder trick.  Pull out spark plug and stuff some appropriately sized rope
in the opening.  Put in just enough to lock it up while approaching top dead
center of whatever cylinder you choose, though cyl # 1 would be bestest
choice as you want to be at TDC for that cylinder when doing timing belt
anyway.  You'll probably need less than 2ft of rope, though if you have to
go buy some you may as well buy 20ft so it is useful for something else down
the road.

Did this not too long ago on the 4kq when I found out I had a sheared key on
the crank sprocket.
