[8V] Crankshaft pulley removal ???

["Greg Davis" <scirocco@iglou.com>]

I attempted to remove the pulley from the crankshaft tonight but was not
successful.   The intermediate shaft pulley was easy, I just wedged a
screwdriver through the center to hold it in place.   I tried vice-grips to
hold the crankshaft pulley, but only succeeded in bending it a little, so I
stop before I screwed it up beyond repair.  Unfortunately, my manuals were
not much help.

I'm trying to remove these so I can replace the seals beyind them.  They've
been leaking for awhile, and since I already had the head off... well, you
know the story...   all this for a head gasket.. Hehe :)

So, any great suggestions on how to hold the pulley in place so I can
remove (and then replace) the nut?   I believe someone (Shawn?) mentioned
some cool, special (VW specific??) tool ?

TIA!

Greg... ( and I thought THIS would be easy!) :)
