• HI guys!
  Anyone know of a good tool to hold the crankshaft whilst loosening/torqueing  the front crank pulley bolt?
  
  I made one years ago but it did not hold up very good and did not work so good either.
  Anyone have any links to a tool or maybe a good picture with measurements? I know a very good toolmaker so if I can only get a drawing it would be a piece of cake best regards / Tommy

• I asked the same thing a few months ago

  No answers but like it says, the pulley came off by hand! To tighten it I seem to remember just using a prybar and visegrips  to hold the pulley somehow. It worked because i got it to torque up to spec. I would imagine the same thing to remove it. If you have a compressor and a strong impact gun it should also be able to remove it.

• The volvo blogspot is a great resource for that motor.
  I searched for a tool that would work, but i looked at VW and Volvo dealer tools and didn't find. However there must be be a supplier in Europe

• Call Baum Tools at the 800 number you see on the link I posted. The guys really know what they are talking about and will be able to help you out. I spoke with Dexter there last week and he seemed really glad to be talking to someone who still had one of these motors. As you know, they are really rare...
  
  I think that crank holder tool also works for Audi 5cyl gassers, so it's not that odd.

• snap on's cheaper brand blue point sells the proper tools, but you have to look for the audi 5 cylinder gas or diesel, they both use the sme 2 tools, one is the crank holder, the other is the torque wrench extension that gives you the correct torque

• If you can´t find a proper tool, you could always do this   Found it from my 2,5TDI Audi, I made my own tool to hold crank.

  No room on a volvo for that.Even with a swivel.  i would have done it otherwise.
