Re: Crankshaft pulley nut
No, check your fractions.
1.5 inches is one and a half inches is 1 and 1/2 inches is 1 and 8/16 inches is 1 and 16/32 inches.
1 and 5/16 inches is....1 and 5/16 inches. In other words a wee bit over 1 and 1/4 inches, a most unusual size in my experience.
Check out this site:
Deep one and half inch impact socket six sided and 1/2 drive.Suitable many early English vehicles (BMC mini,Allegro,1100,1300 Maxi etc) and others as ball joint,flywheel and hub nut sockets etc, £11.00p

I'm not saying this is a suitable socket, simply that it is 1.5"!

Re: Crankshaft pulley nut
I found that 1 & 1/2" AF sockets with a 1/2" drive are rare. I ended up buying one of these

The bolt in question is extremely tight, but with my air impact gun it came undone easily.

Re: Crankshaft pulley nut
This is my solution to releasing the crank pulley nut. Its a 3/4 in drive breaker bar and a really solid socket. I have to use a 3/4 to 1/2 in drive adaptor for the torque wrench though.
