What's the best way to hold the pulley while loosening the nut on a 98 Civic SOHC?

there is a "ghetto" way to do this IF your good at welding. Basicly you get a bolt that fits into the CP but still offers enough clearance to fit a socket in there then weld a peice of metal as a handle. Postion the tool so that when it spins, the chassis stops it, then hit it with an impact.
There is a post about this on honda-tech. Its the ghetto way to do things, but if your REALLY broke, I guess it's worth a try.

but anyhow this would work all except the part about the impact generally the reason you need one of these is because an impact will not work and does not have enoguh torque to take it off. so what you need this for is to be able to loosen it by hand while holding this "tool" to keep it from spinning.

Actually even with an impact, some of the torque is lost because the pulley itself is going to move slightly.

all these ways are good in theory but the truth of the matter is is that ALOT of hona crank pulleys just will not come off without the use of a tool to hold the pulley. Moroso sells the tol for like 75 bucks justbuy it and do it the right way
