A couple of questions, when doing the small belts do you leave the exhaust pulley alone? And if that's the case how do you stretch the belt to get the inlet pulley back on? And next question rather than making a tool to remove the crank pulley could you not just use an impact gun?
Thanks and look forward to the next bit!
I guess a big impact gun would do the trick also

Without the special tools, leave the exhaust pulley alone as its not keyed to the camshaft and loosen it without the special tools will screw up the timing The same applies to the inlet pulley at the front end (RH side). I found it quite easy to put the inlet pulley back on with the new belt as long as the exhaust pulley was rotated to the correct position. No need for stretching it.
