[s-cars] 3B crank locker tool

[Peter Golledge]

Impact will work, best is to have the car in 5th with a person on the brake
pedal real hard.  Of course getting things buttoned up without the tool can
be a bit more of a chore.  The "rope down the spark plug hole" trick may
work but I borrowed the tool for the assembly phase.

I don't know why the images keep disappearing, but here is the
gist of it.  The missing images show a piece of 2"? square tubing
with a notch cut out of one side, welded (or clamped) to a 2nd 
piece of 2" tubing.  The notched end fits into the pulley and over
the nut, and the socket fits into the tubing onto the nut.

Another option is to use an impact wrench on the nut. A good
heavy duty impact wrench will spin off the nut without turning
the engine (or so I'm told).

Good luck.
