crank shaft pulley puller

Nope, putting the car in gear with the ebrake pulled will NOT stop the crank from spinning 100% of the time. Sure it might have worked for you but it sure as hell didn't work for me, and it didn't work for supramacist either.

And for the last time I DIDN'T MESS UP MY FLYWHEEL WITH THE PRYBAR!!! Like I said, the flywheel is so much larger in diameter than the crank bolt you have leverage on your side, you barely have to hold the flywheel while you crack it loose. It's the only method that is guaranteed to work 100% of the time. Car in gear with the ebrake on will NOT work on every car, period.

The only reason why it worked for you kuban is because your crank bolt wasn't torqued to the 195ft/lbs the TSRM recommends.
