Re: pulley removal
Yes water pulley has to come off, (leave to belt under tension) while you use a 10mm spanner to undo the bolts on the water pump pulley
I just use a small leather hammer to tap the crank pulley (either side) and from slight behind the crank pulley and then just move it from side to side by hand (if that makes sense)
and don't forget before adjusting the belt undo the locking nut

Re: pulley removal
I do break out in a cold sweat when I read about you trying to 'undo' that crankshaft nut without the proper tool.
That pulley has two tapped holes in it to take the bolts which hold the special slotted plate with a 'block' on the end' .
Bolting that to the pulley allows you to use as big and long bar as you need, to undo the nut , without straining any part of the transmission .
I gave the one I made to 'canesplitter' with the Probe but really the FPOC could do with one 'for hire'.

Re: pulley removal
To remove the Crankshaft Pulley nut,
Jack up car & remove wheel, position on Alex stand
Remove the off side splash shield
21mm socket&breaker bar on the crankshaft bolt, with the bar resting on the ground,
Disconnect the wiring to the Dizzy.
With the car out of gear, start the car quickly the off, do this a few times, the cranking of the engine with shock the bolt lose, with the reaction of the breaker bar against the ground,
If it don’t go after 3or4 attempts ( never known on not to go). You may need to use a heavy duty ‘nut runner’ impact driver, or risk burning out the start motor.
With the nut lose, remove the Aux belts & get them out the way
Either make up a puller & get the pulley off that way.
Or gentle tap & wiggle the crankshaft pulley should come off
Don’t lose the ‘woodruff wedge key ‘
Hope I haven’t missed anything, if so, please correct me !
