Hey guys, hope all is well. I have a question regarding my 1990 corolla with a 1.6L. engine type: 4A-f(e). I am in process of replacing the timing belt, engine has over 200000 and i am sure its never been replaced. Will i need a special tool for removing the crank-shaft pully? or is it held in place by a key? I have a harmonic-balancer pully remover, which i used on a few engines i re-built will it work? Thanks for all your help..

All you need to do is remove the damper bolt and it will slide right off. If you don't have an impact gun, you can use a large breaker bar - wedge it against the right hand side of the wheel opening subframe and bump the key (with the ignition system disabled, of course! )

thumbster ,
Thank you very much for the insight as I really appreciate it. Regardless, I was going to jump in and do it its just that the car is in an apartment parking lot & dont have all the access that my lavish garage offers. Lol Job looks simple enough though IF all goes well should only take about3-5 hours. Thanks again+++++
