Great to know, I though there was a specific notch for this.The starter lock tool just fits in any tooth on the flywheel. No specific notch, so no benefit to removing the starter.

I have not broken it yet, I’m planning on wedging up the pulley just like you did using a jack and a chunk of wood. I’ll do that sooner than later as to not put pressure on the other components. Quick question, is the key notch on the crank visible after you take off the pulley off? I was reading that it should be in the 6 o’clock position but I’m not seeing a notch.Another thought, did you break the crank bolt free yet? I'd recommend doing that before you lock in the flywheel. Otherwise you may bend/break that little timing lock or even the flywheel timing hole while you are applying the massive torque needed to break loose that big bolt on the front.

What manual are you using? The one I’m has great technical info but the illustrations suck.Dumb question: Isn't the same lock required to tighten the crank bolt? Nevermind, I see there are complicated tools (303-1437, 303-1438) in the FSM which appears to use the pulley bolts and external bracing, so there is no torque applied through the crankshaft. I'd try a high-torque impact wrench for removal.
Note the FSM indicates that the bolt can be either left- or right-hand thread, depending on the rating. 200Nm isn't bad but the 180° or 270° rotation afterwards is nuts. And, one of those number is a typo, but which one? Later in the FSM it only shows 270°, so I'm guessing 180° is the typo:

The notch being referred to is the notch in the crankshaft where the key sits to lock in the pulley. You won't see it till you take off the pulley.I have not broken it yet, I’m planning on wedging up the pulley just like you did using a jack and a chunk of wood.
