You can avoid taking out the shroud, headlight, airbox etc. By holding the converter with a pry bar from the small hole at the bottom of the bellhousing. Saves hours on the job.
Honestly it's too complicated, respectfully. I did this on my 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara yesterday using an old drive belt, 14 to use on the tensioner pulley in order to remove my good drive belt, a 19 to remove the crankshaft bolt. I had to remove my power steering reservoir because it was cracked but that's about it. I used the belt to secure the pulley to break it but it was stuck on so I secured it on the frame and spun the crankshaft once and it was loose. I changed the seal and harmonic balancer then used the belt in the opposite direction to tighten the bolt but it is important to use a torque wrench so I borrowed one

Thank you for your feedback, glad to hear you could use just the belt to loosen/tighten the bolt and not need any specialty tools.
