Best Answer

A half inch impact wrench worked on my 1999 Mercury Villager for getting the crankshaft bolt out. Once out I used a light duty puller (3 prongs I think) to assist in getting the crankshaft pully removed. This is necessary if you are replacing the timing belt. If you don't have a good impact wrench and a full tank of air pressure it probably won't break the bolt loose. Be sure to mark everything well before you pull the timing belt off and have the number one cylinder at top dead center (TDC). There are marks on the crankshaft and camshaft pulleys but take notes and do some counting between marks if you buy an aftermarket belt. Dealer belts are well marked, but belts from your local auto parts stores which are cheaper are not marked. Think about using fingernail polish (White) to make marks on the old belt. Get a good repair manual.
