  Q: How to remove and install a crankshaft pulley on V4 engine for Toyota Solara and 2002 through 2006 Toyota Avalon?

  A: Detach the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Remove the drive belt. Unbolt the bracket from the engine movement control rod. With the parking brake applied and the shifter in Park (automatic) or in gear (manual), loosen the lug nuts from the right front wheel, then raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the right front wheel and the right splash shield from the wheel well. Remove the bolt from the front of the crankshaft. A breaker bar will probably be necessary since the bolt is very tight. Using a puller that bolts to the crankshaft hub, remove the crankshaft pulley from the crankshaft. Note: Depending on the type of puller you have, it may be necessary to support the engine from above; remove the right side engine mount and lower the engine to gain sufficient clearance to use the puller. To install the crankshaft pulley, slide the pulley onto the crankshaft as far as it will slide on, then use a vibration damper installation tool to press the pulley onto the crankshaft. Note that the slot (keyway) in the hub must be aligned with the Woodruff key in the end of the crankshaft and that the crankshaft bolt can also be used to press the crankshaft pulley into position. Tighten the crankshaft bolt. The remaining installation steps are the reverse of removal.
