We don't have any money left after buying the grinder to cut the bolt off of the crankshaft pulley and now need to figure out how to remove the pulley without the puller and do the timing without the timing light.
Any suggestions?

Please and Thank you?

Good morning,

The pulley does require a puller for removal.

There are some cases where you can get a big screwdriver behind the pulley and see if it will release. I would not use a hammer as you could damage the crankshaft.
