Also, most frown on using flywheel lock tools to prevent the crankshaft from spinning when you try to loosen or tighter the bolt but the manual instructs to using one. I made my own tool though - using a pipe base, few bolts, and a steel bar to hold the pulley in place. I think it cost me under $30, all from Lowes.
