If anyone is currently online reading this and knows the best way to remove the center bolt holding the crank shaft pully on, I am working on the car now and can't get it loose. Please post immediately, Thank You

To get mine off I used a wedge on the alternator fan with the belt at tension keeping it still...

You could just save the hassle and use an air gun.

Thanks for the replies,I ended up making a wooden wedge and putting it between the power steering pump pulley and the crank pulley . I was unable to use any of the belt tension to help because I have already removed some accesories . This did come to mind(the wedge),but since I didnt have a wedge laying around,I tried to use stuff like hammer handles and other various items for about an hour, that just slipped out.It took about 4 minutes to cut the wood with a hand saw and another 30 seconds to get the bolt off! Oh well,that was enough for me tonight,I'll be back at it in the morning.
