what size of socket or wrench do you need to take it off and how would you take off it you do not have a pulley puller. is it possible to do this without bending the rod or the pulley.

       I don't remember the mm size of the crankshaft bolt, holding
  the pulley on. But the bolt has to be removed, it's a very short
  fat bolt. After the bolt is removed , you use a special puller for
  the pulley. it goes into the bolt hole in the crank and hooks on
  the pulley in two slots, The pulley is very easy to destroy, and
  has no reason to be removed unless you are replacing the pulley
  or rebuilding the engine. The engine does not have a seal for that
  pulley, but has what was kown as a oil slinger. It looks like threads on a bolt and as the engine turns the grooves are threaded
backward in order to push the oil back into the engine. However
  if you run the engine hard some oil will bypass the slinger and
  look like a leak around the pulley and exhaust.
