Grrr... I've been trying for days now to get this bolt off of my M62 SC pulley. I've used WD40 and lots of my time. Any suggestions or something other than WD40?.. I was going to head to pepboys or advace and see what they have.
Get a spare belt that you can sacrifice. Wrap it around the pulley, then use large vice-grips, channel-lock, or a pipe wrench to hold it. If that fails, use an impact wrench to remove it.
The nut itself has loctite (threadlocker) built into it. After you get it off, use a 3-jaw gearpuller or pulley puller to remove the pulley.

Ok thanks, at least I know I'm having trouble for a reason. Since the nose is seperated I'm going to try screwing it to a 2x4 to hold it in place while i torque away.
