Used that method to undo the Crank when I had a L/R D***o and it worked ok. When I did the cylinder head on my 3rd Gen and had to do the Cam nut I put a very big adjustable on the Cam shaft (which is ready machined for this).
If your cool with taking the Rocker cover off, then I would be tempted to try that 1st! Otherwise speak to TonyN - the chief spanner man here I think!

i did mine over the Xmas break, i had what you could only describe as a ****ing big oil filter wrench you know the chain type, this was lent to me by the local main toyota agent( yes main agent), as i bought the new pulley off them £93 + vat, same price as rough trax. put the wrewnch on the fan belt pulley 19mm socket on crank pulley and heave ho off it came along with knuckle skin and blue air, the hardest bit was getting pulley off crank end, remove rad and borrow puller fanny about leavering cambelt cover out of the way to get puller on behind pulley, once off 1/2 hour and all was back up and running,
good luck

not a hugely safe way but it can work.
