It’s a 2001 Spyder GT 3.0 (6g72) and I cannot find a way to get the crank pulley off to replace the crankshaft position sensor. Any tips?

Good afternoon,
Do you have a powerful air gun? You will need that to break the thread lock and torque to release the bolt.
The torque is 135 pounds. You should be able to release it with a good air gun.

Okay, then you may want to see if you can rent an electric gun. It runs on a battery and can release this bolt. You need a straight shot at it.
