What I Did Was Wedge The Big Screw Driver Into The Pulley And It Got Caught Right Behind The Ac Compressor And Thats All U Need Is To Stop That Crank Pulley From Turning And You Can Get That Bolt Out And Get That Crank Pulley And To Remove That Just Follow Ls1howto.com Info Its Real Quick It Took Me Bout 15 Mins To Get That Bolt And Pulley Out Way Easier Then Putting A Screw Driver In The Flywheel If U Need Any More Info Get At Me Whenever... Thanks Ls1tech You Guys Are Always Helpfull...
