find a bracket or something solid on that side of the engine.
now when u turn the bolt anticlockwise the rope should tighten up on itself. this will stop the pully from moving and therefore the crank.
now u should be able to put ur socket on it and apply as much pressure as needed till it goes.
now i did this and snapped the rope twice, then i got another bit or rope and the blow tourch, and that time it went.
shocking it like that will help more then as well as the rope will increase the amount of force from the hammer get transfered to the bolt.
if u know what i mean.
how you think im holding the crank from turning
ive go it wrapped round the pully, the alt, the thermostat, the water pump the cam belt tensioner and also had nikki holding the rope, ITs TO FUCKING TIGHT
now for ways to slide of the cam belt as also good pain killers as the missus is really white right now and not saying anything
