I used a tie-rod removing tool (fork) and pried it from between the pulley and the engine block...just be careful not to pry against the oil pan...good luck use a small 3 point gear puller make sure to reinstall the crank bolt so you don't damage the threads
On the crankshaft pulley
In order to do this properly, you need the correct tools as well as an owner's manual and a repair manual for diagrams that show the relevant parts and their names, ignition marks and so on. The manual is also necessary in order to understand some of the terms named here. You should prepare well for this job in order to avoid mistakes which could be serious. Procedure: The engine should be cold. Use the crankshaft pulley bolt to turn the crankshaft and align the timing marks on the crankshaft timing pulley and on the oil pump body. Remove any oil or water on the crankshaft timing pulley,idler pulley and water pump pulley, and keep them clean. Align the installation mark on the timing belt with the drilled mark of the crankshaft timing pulley. Install the timing belt on the crankshaft timing pulley, also on idler and water pump pulleys. Crankshaft Position: Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the
it is located under the timing cover above the crankshaft pulley
it is the crankshaft timing gear.
The timing marks are on the timing belt cover on the front of the engine right above the crankshaft pulley.
One is on the crankshaft pulley the other is on the camshaft pulley.
The Crankshaft Position Sensor senses it's position from a toothed timing ring behind the Crankshaft pulley. The CKP is above and to the left of the crankshaft pulley.
Remove the drive belts, crankshaft pulley, and timing covers. Align the timing marks on the camshaft and crankshaft and r+r the belt
It is on the nose of the crankshaft, behind the timing belt sprocket.
The timing sensor is called a Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP). It is located at the 10 O'Clock positon on the crankshaft pulley.
the crankshaft position sensor is located between the main pulley and oil pump pulley in the lower part of the timing belt.
The timing marks are located on the lower section of the timing belt cover above the crankshaft pulley. The mark is on the crankshaft pulley. The timing cannot be adjusted on the 3.2L engines. The timing is computer controlled by the ecm wich receives a signal from the crankshaft position sensor. The timing marks for the timing belt are on the camshaft pulleys ( aligned with dots on the front of the metal rear piece of the timing chain cover) and the lip behind the crankshaft timing belt pulley. It is a half circle slot that you align with a horizontal line on the oil pump at about 3 oclock ( right hand side ).
