You don't say what kind of car you have, neither have it in your signature.
But I've never had a problem putting a socket on a crank bolt in any of the Mercedes I've owned, gas or diesel. It's very easy.
I've tried the PS pulley bolt before and had marginal success. In most cases you end up over torquing the bolt as it tightens even further.
The starter switch works, but is very difficult to get it to end up in the position you want. Try rolling a chain in with a starter switch.
