i appriciated everyones help.

just for anyones future referance, although there is a universal tool that removes honda crank pulleys, it does not work on the acura vigor. the vigor has a specific tool that only dealers carry for the removal of the crank pulley.

i am going to try the chain wrench method. im gonna use the old belt and then wrap a towel around the the pulley to further protect it. hopefully this works.
