(Home) Cam belt replacement

Next weekend, a mechanic friend and myself are going to replace the cambelt on my masterace.
I have the Toyota repair manual-RM025E which looks very useful.
What he has asked me to find out if possible is about the puller for removing the crankshaft pully.Has anyone fabricated a tool and if so would it be possible to have a photo of said tool or measurements so we could fabricate one before we start the job.
Also,What size head is the crankshaft pully bolt please?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Many Thanks,
Dave.

At the top of this page click "To Return to the home page" then "Tasks" (bottom left) then the bottom option about the crankshaft pulley. It's not about a puller but has John Davis's useful dimensions and details about making a locking device. The Bolt is 19mmAF

Dave. Yes, it is a simple tool which utilises the tapped holes in the pulley. It is essential to use this type of puller, as the universal "claw" type puller, operating on the outside diameter of the cast iron pulley, can easily fracture it. From memory, the size of the crankshaft bolt is 19mm across the flats.
I will forward a picture of my simple pulley, with dimensions, and confirmation of the bolt head size
