The best way to remove the crank pulley without power tools is to bolt a transmission bolt into the block, get a big flat head screwdriver or crow bar and insert into a tooth on the flywheel, position it so that when you un do the crank pulley bolt, the bolt and screw driver will jam and stop the engine from turning. Then use a big breaker bar to undo the crank pulley bolt. Use a pipe as an extension if you need extra leverage.
If i had access to one of em suckers, dont think ill b posting ere lol

as ive said, i dont think ill go that route under the chances of snapping a tooth off the flywheel or worse breaking the bell housing, but its an idea non the less....
Anyways day 2 of this job, lets hope it goes well haha
Holds the bolt in place while wedging the actual tool to the chassis of the car (or the ground). Then use a socket and a meter long breaker bar it should come off. Leveridge FTW!
Heat it up with a jetlighter, heatgun, torch etc
Quickly cool it down with ice
Put the breaker bar on and give it a few taps with a mallet or your hand if you think you're tuff.
Watch as the bolt magically comes free!
i attempted this while engine was OUT the car (halfway through engine swap) ended up getting the shits, and buying a new crank pulley + bolt HEHEHE good luck with it but
