Do you mean you need to put another one on?

remove the coil wire(s)

remove the belts.

remove the fan and shroud.

Place the 19mm x 1/2"dr socket onto the 1/2"dr breaker bar

-secure the socket to crankshaft pulley bolt, and position bar to ground or frame (solid) so that you can "bump" the starter to break loose the bolt.

-from inside the car (nobody standing near front, just in case), attempt to start the car for one quick second...this will cause the crank to turn and break loose the bolt.

-remove the crank bolt (probably finger tight now)

carefully, from opposite sides, pry evenly on the crank pulley till it moves a bit. Then pull a tiny bit on one, then the other bar, walking the pulley off the crank.

be careful, and ready to finish pulling it off with your hands. It is heavy, and will drop to the ground if your not ready. (put a folded towel on ground underneath, just in case)

Reverse this to install new pully.

Tightening bolt is biggest trouble. I personally use a 3/8" impact gun with an impact swivel socket to get on the bolt. I only 'hit' it for a second.

Maybe you have a friend with one. Holding the crank tight to torque it with a torque wrench can be very challenging. Perhaps someone will give that up.
