You can actually do a very good job of straightening around the timing hole 
with the part in the car. I generally do this with everything apart, but if the 
engine is in the car, you can still do this with some difficulty. It's harder 
on early cars with that odd rear center "engine mount," but on late cars you 
can just remove the handle and get pretty good access for a hammer. All you 
need then is a nice flat "anvil" to slip inside the pulley housing.
