Crank pully ?
last I remember... it requires a bit of electrical spark from your ignition to turn over... I could be wrong...
My last car was an Auto and all I did was prop a steel bar (prybar, steel rod, something sturdy and cylindrical) in between the pulley and used any notch on the block as a way of stopping if from turning. That was a FWD car though, I would think with this being RWD that it'd be one helluva person to be able to torque the pulley enough that you'd turn the engine over while loosening it, but I'm just speculating.
Just noticed your list of cars, and I see you have BOTH FWD and RWD cars. What car is having the pulley removed? If it's the Prix, remember to pry off the steel disk that covers the "hole" for the center of the crank pulley (I found this out the hard way while using the puller I ended up torque-ing the puller so much I actually stripped one of the bolts on the puller. Pulled the threading right off of the bolt. When the puller loosened because of this, the small metal disk/ring popped off the center of the pulley and much cussing could be heard from my garage. Good thing I buy Craftsman hand tools and there's a Sears Hardware less than a mile away.) If you remove the disk in the center it makes pulling the pulley SO much simpler. Just a tip for ya.

He's installing the UR Ultra SS Pully's for me with help from Electro Juggernaught, it's turning into a PITA.
The instructions say for Auto's to "refer to your manual."
The manual says use a flywheel crank puller or whatever it's called. I can't recall or care to I just know what it looks like and does, we only had about 2 hours sleep each the night before.
We couldn't find one (Sunday) so I have to try the Dealer tomorow or Napa.
It's the tool that holds it in place while you torque on it so you don't break any teeth otherwise it just slips and spins.
We were all tired and gave up but I have started a series of install pics before and after and pics of the pully's themselves standing alone. They are sweet and really light.
I also did some cold air engine cooling mods and painted my STB *base* while it's off i(the black holder brackets) it looks better.
My Z is up on jacks with the belts off right now but I am on vacation for 4 days so it's all good. Hope to finish and test drive manana and race Wednesday. MT's should be easier but if you plan on this nmod be prepared it's more involved then you think. We may get away without removing the radiator it will be close.
I have a compressor but it doesn't stop the spinning though
Thanks

Use an air wrench
Thanks
