The pulley bolt has reverse threads so remember to turn the bolt clockwise to loosen it. If you have a bench vice you're probably good to go.

Well if you try to remove the bolt after taking the pulley off the engine.

i was able to take the 22m bolt off by jamming a 12" prybar in the middle of the pulley and holding it with my left hand, while using a breaker bar with a 2 foot pipe and turning it with my left hand, by myself without my son.
