In most cases, the flywheel needs to be locked to do this. |

99.9% of the time the engine is still in the car, so the flywheel, as per your picture is not an option. Locking it with a screwdriver through the starter motor aperture could be problematic, although doable. With the correct locking tool, attached to the pulley itself, the job is almost easy. Without it almost impossible. I cannot imagine trying to torque it with the correct sequence, if the motor was out of the car-anyone ever tried this.

This is doable with the 1.8 with manual trans. You only need to remove the starter first (cables + 2-3 bolts). I have done this my self during a TB replacement. I am not sure if the 1.8 auto flywheel has the same grooves that you can lock an extension bar into. IIRC the torque for the 1.8 is around 200Nm and can easily be torqued as long as the car is in high gear with brakes applied (manual).

Corrections and comment
Recently a question has been asked referring to the contents of this thread. Please note the following:
This is completely incorrect. With the selector in 'P' the pulley cannot be removed as the crankshaft will still turn. Quote:
For the diesel, the sequence is 100 Nm + 60˚ + 60˚ + 30˚ and not as given in RPWC's post. Quote:

Just my experience with my cdti auto
Bought a new cortetco about 4-5 years ago, just in case ,as had noticed a vibration at around 1800-2000 rpm. Since then had a few goes at shifting the crank bolt. Using a locking tool each time couldn't shift with a 2ft bar. Then bought a 980nm DeWalt impact gun, used this a few times with no luck, and my last go last year I used a long pipe over my breaker bar, and just snapped the 1/2 drive clean off. So still got the pulley and a vibration

When I changed mine I tried all sorts of tools including a 3/4" drive air, also heating the bolt but all to no avail, in the end a truck owner friend lent me his 1" drive Milwaukee M18 impact driver which can use up to 2711 Nm of torque to undo difficult nuts or bolts.
The engine didn't even need to be locked to stop it moving, it was a couple of seconds of pure joy and the bolt was out, maybe overkill but not if it does the job |

Done a couple of these - home made locking tool, 3/4 drive socket, good quality breaker bar and a 5ft bit of scaffold pipe work a treat!
