I don't reference this particular sub-site of your FAQ because I think the
part of it on the tools one can buy or fabricate is not well done. It's
mostly poor writing, and I think it doesn't get across the tool situation
very well at all.

I would be happy to redo it for you, but I don't want to step on your toes.

I note this because when I was researching how to break free my 91 Civic's
pulley bolt last year, I found a number of posts talked about the hex pipe
homemade tool. But that isn't the type of setup my 91 Civic's pulley bolt
has. Ultimately the thread got it straight that my Civic has the pulley with
holes in it. Eric guided me to fabrication of an excellent tool for it,
slightly modified because my Civic had the power steering pulley lip with
which to contend, too.

I did a lot of other research on this, finding tools commercially available
and also at Ebay. (So far I prefer the tool that I ended up making for
around ten bucks, with Eric's guidance.)
