lowering passenger side of engine

need to lower passenger side of my car's engine just about two or three inches lower so i can remove crankshaft pulley.not enough room to wiggle it out. another option is to remove the crankshaft center bolt, but i cannot find a pulley holding tool at Autozone, Kragen or Sears. do i have to remove all the mounts just to lower the passenger side three inches? or any suggestion i can do much easier than lowering the passenger side engine. i am replacing the water pump, i have to remove the timing cover to do it, but the timing cover wont pull off without removing the crankshaft pulley.
