Finally a friend of mine had a Snap on impact gun that did the trick...took 5 seconds to break it loose with that bad boy, lots of torque! Hope I can post pics of it soon so you'll see which one it is.

Other than this, everything else was straight forward. I thought it was easier than my CA18det engine. Anyhow, thanks to all that pitch in with their comments and what not.

Later!

more info on the impact gun... I don't have one, but might as well buy one. Do you happen to know the torque rating on that gun?

Okay so i got the breaker bar and now i need the grip wrench. Car Quest did not have a grip wrench? is this something i would be able to find at a normal store? or something i would have to buy online? And when i do get the grip wrench i dont really understand how i would use that to stop the pulley from moving?
