I got this advice from my brother-in-law and it worked:
an easy way of undoing the crank pulley bolt is to get a socket on the bolt,tie
a piece of string to your ratchet and hit the starter,the wrench will turn, jam
on something and
undo the bolt.(the string is to control the wrench as a projectile) do be
careful if you decide to to this (make sure there is nothing that you want
damaged in the path of the
revolving wrench).
