No

you are basically making a strap wrench out of the belt and vice grip...

An OLD belt. Or use an impact wrench.

Please tell us what year your car is.

Should an impact be suggested?

It would appear that could damage the coupler.

If using an Impact PLEASE use caution. Using a belt could save you from potential damage.
