This is a quick trick on how to remove the stubborn crank pulley bolt without using the special tool. This was done on a Subaru Impreza while replacing a timing belt, but I have used this trick on many other applications also. I have done this on Honda and Toyota engine as long as you can find a good spot to hook on.

This should be the same engine /concept for other models also: Impreza wrx legacy outback forester crosstrek with the 2.5i EJ25 2.5L motor that Subaru put in everything.

Thanks for watching.
