Take some vice grips and grip the pulley near the top so that the stud that sticks out hits against the vice grips to hold it while you turn the nut.

Here you go, you will see the stud sticking out from the engine, that will hold the pulley still.

Yes, vice grip worked for me. I tried the strap wrench, that didn't work.

I used a big vice grip like that and a big crescent wrench to do mine...
just like that with the vice grip.

Sweet. Good to know. Thanks fellas. If this doesn't work I'm using my f*cking shotgun.
One other trick I did learn about to day was tap it with an airhammer. I'll PB it again, tap it with my airhammer a few times, and use your guys' trick.
