Thank you for the responses. I finally managed to get it off by pulling both air boxes out and positioning the ratchet / breaker bar against the drivers side fender and then pulling all the way over to the the passenger side fender. There was a ridiculous amount of "play" in the chain of components (tranny etc) that were acting to resist the rotation of the crank.

I now have the new crank pulley positioned on the crank shaft, but I am questioning if I have it on all the way. In other words, I currently have about 1/4" between the back of the crank pulley and the block. If I torque down the crank pulley bolt it doesn't get pulled any closer, but it just doesn't look right. It seems like it should go on further.

Does anyone have a good picture showing the correct spacing between the crank pulley and the block? There are a couple pictures in the NST pulley thread but they unfortunately do not show the spacing I am looking for.

Thanks!
