Hi, replacing the timing belt on this car for the first time. The crank pulley wheel is held on four 10mm bolts. I've removed these bolts. Apparently the pulley should slip over the crank boss and crank bolt (21mm) but the pulley is rock solid in place. I wonder if the manual is correct? There doesn't seem to be the clearance to pull off the pulley, on the other hand those four bolts are there for a reason. Maybe brute force is required? Can anybody tell me for sure that the crankshaft bolt does not have to be removed?

Thanks, Peter
