    Im trying to remove the crank pulley to change the oil seal but not having much luck.

    I have tried fitting two bolts and using a lever to hold it in place but there is not enough room as the socket appears to take up too much room.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    remove TDC sensor, wedge flywheel with a screwdriver and get a fat mate to lean on a breaker bar on the crank bolt.

    or get an impact gun.

    DO NOT rely on any of the timing pins to lock the engine for this purpose.

    Sounds like a plan, Could this damage the flywheel ?

    Not any more than using a shearable timing pin through the flywheel.

    It'll be fine if you lock the flywheel with a 6mm drill or allen key and use an impact.

    With a bar you'll probably need to use a screwdriver.
