4L V6 crankshaft pulley bolt

Greetings!

New member, first post.

I have a 1994 Mazda B4000 pickup (Ford Ranger clone). The engine has not been started in five years, but it was running well when the vehicle was taken out of service because of body damage.

I'm hoping to resurrect this puppy. Installed a new battery. Turn the key to "crank" and all I get is a loud click. Okay, next step is to turn the engine by hand, to make sure it isn't seized. The bolt in the crank pulley is buried in a deep recess, so I have to work by feel. None of my sockets fit! They all seem too small or too large.

Please tell the size of this bolt. Thank you!

Looks like the crankshaft pulley bolt is 23 mm. If that doesn't fit, could the bolt possibly be rounded off from a previous owner?

Thanks, fatherdoug, I'll try that size.
I know little of this vehicle's history. It's a "beater" which I got for free.
