also, when removing your crank pulley, disregard the statement in that thread about a strap wrench.  it dosnt work.  just get someone to put the car into 5th then step on the brake peddle while you use a gnar breaker bar to break the bolt loose.  these words were taught to me by some beer drinkin, has been..

That is the most nasty , disgusting, Unbelievable neglect I have ever seen in a engine bay.. 

That was a good find..

there is a much easier way to remove the crank pulley bolt,

place a breaker bar on the bolt and rest the bar against the right side (passenger) frame rail. crank the car just a click with the key.

bolt comes free everytime
