I don't think you'll need a special tool. although I don't know how to do it either try searching the website. I would but I have to leave. oh and, Welcome To NICO!

Depends on what you consider a special tool. Any medium sized 3 jaw puller should do the trick. Most chain auto stores sell them for under $30.

Get yourself a FSM (Factory Service Manual) and it will show/tell you how to remove the pully. Took us 30 minutes to go buy the puller and 5 minutes or less to use it

Welcome to NICO.

Dont forget about the search function. you can learn alot by searching.

If i understand what your talking about its the crank pulley system (3 pulleys in a row) held on by 1 big bolt (crank bolt) which is a 1 1/8th inch bolt. Its hard to get off but use a long pipe and a good amount of torque it comes right off. Then there are little semi circles (locks) that slide out of the metal crank shaft. take the locks out with a flat screw driver. then with a rubber mallet hit the crank pulley off. Then there is another little semi-circle metal lock piece again. Take it out and then hit the remaining 2 pulleys off. The from MAIN SEAL (covers the bottom of the timing chain) goes about an inch into the iol pan, i would remove the pan then it comes right off. Good luck! its not hard just time consuming. about an hour and a half if your being careful!
