I have a SOHC engine and I need to know to unloosen the pully bolt. I have tried but the pully bolt just spins along with rest of the belt system. I need to know how to freeze the rest of the pully's belt system, to be able to unlloosen the Crankshaft pully bolt.

Any tips are great and thanks,

Sincerely,
Steve meyer.

We use a high torque impact gun but if you don't have one then your going to have to get a screwdriver in to hold the flywheel teeth. You may have to remove the starter to be able to do that.
