Well i bought a new crank pulley But...

A while back I got stuck in snow. Blew a radiator hose and crank pulley came off the damping seal. I'm trying to pin it so it doesn't spin, but no matter what i do to pin it. It keeps spinning while I'm torquing the nut off it. Is their another way to do this to get the bolt off the crank pulley? Trying to put a one-peice pulley on to replace the damage OEM pulley.

Pull the rubber plug on the bell housing that gives you access to the Torque Converter bolts. There are a couple of holes in the flexplate that you can use, just don't break the flexplate.

Or an easy and possibly dangerous way... Use a socket and a breaker bar with a long enough extension to hit the ground to the side of the car under the battery. Just barely crank the engine over DO NOT START THE CAR. The nut will be loose.

use a pipe wrench to grip the pulley then get a long breaker bar on it then hit it with a BFH to break it loose. it WILL require 2 people 1 to hold pipe wrench other
to use breaker bar, it worked on mine.
