I'm trying to take the crank pulley off and went ahead and bought this tool.
Amazon.com: Powerbuilt 648796 Honda Crankcase Pulley Removal Tool: Home Improvement

But this tool is too thick and cant go in the pulley, the space between the pulley and the body of the car is way to tight.

I was wondering which tool did you guys use to do the job?

That looks like the OEM honda tool, do you have a picture of it where it wont fit? What job are you trying to do that you need to remove the crank pulley?

my ckp/tdc sensor has to be changed, i guess i could just lower the engine by removing the driver side engine mount to have access

I have the same tool. I had to remove the driver side engine mount and lower the engine to get the tool to fit. I used a 2x4 against the oil pan with a hydraulic jack underneath to lower the engine after removing the mount, then i used it to raise to engine to reinstall the mount. I was very careful not to push against the oil pan too hard.

ur right, I just changed timing belt 2 weeks ago and I had to lower the engine and supported it with a jack stand with a piece of wood to be able to turn that bolt loose

I used this same method

I just had my brother put the car into 5th gear and hold the brakes decently hard and the crank nut came right off
