Wanted: crank pulley tool so I can change the timing belt on my Civic VX

[monroe74]

I've been quiet for a while, but I'm finally speaking up because I need some help!

It's time to do the timing belt on my '95 VX. The challenging part of this job is removing the crank pulley. The best way to do this is with the right tool. For newer Hondas, the tool looks like this:

But for the VX, the tool looks like this:

The newer tool is easy to find, but the tool I need is hard to find. I could buy this thing:

But it would be nice to not spend that much (about $75, shipped) for a tool I'll only be using once every 90,000 miles.

So maybe someone has the right tool, and they're willing to sell it, or loan it, or rent it?

I realize there are a bunch of other methods for doing this (e.g., jam a screwdriver in the flywheel), but they all seem to have various disadvantages. I think the best approach is to use the right tool, so I hope I can find one.

Thanks!
