Lots of people have. Its one of the common faults on elderly Supras.

 

The best way to make sure it doesn't happen prematurely is not make sure that no-one uses a blowtorch on your main crank bolt during a timing belt change. As mentioned above, change it quick if it starts to squeal.

 

Apparently they tend to "walk" forwards before they come rignt off, so if you hear a squeak you can check to see if everything is still in line.

Its a shame its such a pain to change. I heard some squeeling the other night when I started the supra and did wonder if it was the crank pulley. It's not done it since though. Is it something you could get any old garage to do? Or travel to a specialist?
