    I moded 1999 Taco so much it had turned to Land Cruiser
    Something that maybe interest in the future or for supercharger guys. So I need to replace oil seal on my LC and had to remove crankshaft pulley. Needed tool to hold it in place while doing myself
    Made one out of 4 feet long C channel from home depot and 3 shackle mounts.
    Here it is, 4 feet long, I made "ears" that hold the bolts but also lock themselves into the inside of the pulley to spread the load. This way snapping those M8 bolts is highly unlikely. Total cost of the tool in parts came to be around $30 but it fits like a glove and makes job easier.

    Also there is a "ear" at the end of the tool that can be used to chain it, when working by myself
