Line up the white mark (TDC) on the crank pulley with the timing mark, then line up the cam to TDC and install the belt.

does the pulley only go back on one way?

Get a partner.* Have them get in the car, stomp on the brake pedal and put the car in 5th gear.* Use a long extension, breaker bar, and slide a metal pipe over the end of the breaker bar for leverage.* I use a floor jack handle.* Works like a charm.

What i usually do is get a short 1/2 drive ratchet, a BIG dead blow hammer, and it usually come off for me. But good luck, use alot of penetrating oil. An impact is the way to go though.

Yes. There's a notch where a little key goes in, so you know which way the pulley goes on. Don't lose that key.

yeah dont loose the little key way. youll be screwed.

[Hybrid_Coupe]

you wont really be screwed...you can reset top dead on the crank gear for the timing belt. ...you just wont be able to set your timing properly lol

[NstyGrnHatch]

timing is a good thing

[karizmah]

So what exactly is a key way?

the gear is behind the pully right?

yeah, my mechanic friend told me to do the same.
I guess the sudden force will break the threads loose.

once the bolt is loose, does the pully just spin around?
or does this keyway stop it from moving?

just cut and old belt and wrap it around the pully then strap the chain wrench on it . Thats what i do and it works every time

Tried that already. the weight of me pushing on the
breaker bar lifted my buddie up who was holding the
pully with a chain wrench.
