Default 96 Kia Sephia crankshaft pulley question

Recently my mount for the alternator broke off from the water pump
and
now I am currently on task trying to save myself 350 dollars by
changing the water pump myself. I already have the shop manual for this
specific year. The book mentions that I must use a "crankshaft locking
tool" or more specifically a "crankshaft holder" in order to remove the
one large bolt holding down the crankshaft pulley. My question
is......where can I find one? Ive found several versions for "Honda's
and Toyata crankshaft pulley holders........ but none for "Kia's"
Is there another solution to my
problem? Will appreciate any help.

E.T.

Default 96 Kia Sephia crankshaft pulley question

Well folks..since I have an automatic, I took some hints from several
older threads on somehow trying to brace the flywheel teeth. I noticed
that there was a small access port on the bell housing (most likely put
there in order to reach the flywheel to torque converter bolts) I
noticed that turning the crankshaft and looking thru the small access
port (bout 6inches wide) that there are small oval holes more like
vents to help cool...(I assume) on the flywheel or backing plate. I
used a prybar and stuck it thru the vent like hole and braced it on
the bell housing, then I used and extension pipe on my breaker bar and
the damm bolt loosened! Thanks for everyones help here. Hopefully this
info will be of some good use to some poor sod searching for the same
problem in these newsgroups.

E.T.
