Replacing Crank Pulley
I need to take the old one off and replace it with another.
Are there any traps for the novice?
Do I need special tools?
Do I need a torque wrench to tighten the new one?

Is the engine in or out of the car? If out you will either need a fly wheel lock or a bit of anlge iron to stop the motor from turning.
If you do not have a calibrated arm, I would suggest you use a torque wrench to do up the nut.
Ain't nothin' like the wind in your hair.

Thanks PT3
It's out of the car, and I think I have a flywheel lock lying around somewhere.
