Proper size for socket to fit crankshaft pulley 200 1986

posted by  someone claiming to be Bearnoel on  Wed Feb 6 02:53 CST 2002 [RELATED]

What is the correct size of wrench or socket to turn the main crankshaft pulley
which drives all the belts on a b230 f motor.
I read somewhere in the archives that the correct size was 22mm but when I tried that it felt too small . Iwant to turn the pulley so as to turn the engine without using the starter.

I used a deep 1" socket on my B230A with no probs, although it is slightly large for the job. I also used a 1" ring spanner with a large offset to turn the engine a few times to check the marks still line up before putting it all back together.
