Good luck! I've been trying to accomplish the same thing on my 92 Loyale. So far I've broken two strap wrenches (one was supposedly designed for removing crank pulleys) and I still can't get my crank pulley off. Although I've gotten lots of advice from here, I can't seem to make it work.

Crank pulley.

 

If its an auto, jam a big screwdriver in the flex plate and your good to go. If its a manual, you have a few options.

1- Brace rachet and long breaker bar against fender and bump the key(not recommended by me)

2- Get the tool from subaru $$

3- Drill a hole in the top of the bellhousing and drop a screwdriver or something through it into the hole in the flywheel. (note, I don't suggest using a punch.. they break.. I have a crappy old phillips screwdriver that is the perfect size that I keep around just for this.)

 

#3 is my preferred way of doing it. Thank you to moosens for the idea.

On my 88 DL with the auto trans, i just pulled the black rubber boot on the flywheel and cranked the motor by hand till i got to the notch and jammed a good screwdriver (flathead) in and the pulley came off really easy. Thanks again to all who responded to me the repair went really rather smothe was just diffucult cause i had never done that before on a subby :D

What is "the tool" (as in how does is work and would I really have better luck with it) and how much does it cost? I'm going to have to do this again (replace the timing belt) in 60,000 miles, right? That's about a year for me and I would like it to be easier next time or I will find myself putting it off.

 

I did try jamming a screwdriver in the flexplate and now my timing window is bigger. I'm thinking of putting a curtain over it and plants in front.
