If I had to bet, 19mm socket and a pulley holder? I figure large sockets and specialty tools are rare outside of shops or the toolkits of tradesfolk and hobby wrenchers.
I bought an impact set from HF because I needed a 22mm. Got a cheap clone of the Oni Toyota/Lexus holder from Amazon. It's decent; cast, so no sketchy welds. But in hindsight I maybe should've checked if the usual suspects had a loaner for that. It's gonna be a $20 paperweight for the next decade or 90k miles.

@__hetz My plan was to try to manually crank the engine with the pulley still on to visually inspect the belt. I didn’t have enough leverage to turn it and ran out of time to buy more tools. I am going to get the Honda pulley holder to get the bolt out when I do the timing job for real. It’s famously difficult. I already have the large 1/2 Icon G2 ratchet and impact 19mm socket. If that doesn’t work I will have to buy an electric impact.
