Hello,

One way to remove the bolt at the center of the crank pulley, is to use a breaker bar to turn the bolt counterclockwise, while using another bar to keep the pulley from turning. It can also be done using an impact wrench.

Here is a helpful guide on the crank pulley removal:

I have attached the timing belt replacement instructions below.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
