how to remove crankshaft pulley on 93' camry 4 cyl.I cannot find a pulley holding tool.
I checked the rotation spec. on alternator and determined that crank bolt turned to left to remove pulley.Is that correct. Is there a way to get to flywheel to hold crank still.

Hi Randy Blackman, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

Do this use the correct deep well socket on the crank pulley center bolt-use a long breaker bar and a small length of pipe thru the breaker bar as bracing device,observe the rotation of the engine -brace it properly underneath and crank engine over to loosen the bolt or use an impact wrench and also thru the starter by removing it and blocking the flexplate from turning with a long screwdriver-

You will still need a puller to pull the pulley off-Good Luck
