OK,
I am doing a underdrive pulley and a A?C delete on my stang, I am up to the damn water pump pulley............I got off 3 of 4 bolts, now the question? How do you get off the 4th bolt? The pulley spins and I have nothing to stop it from spinning so I can loosen the last bolt. Any ideas?
Thanks alot.

put the belt back on, loosen all the bolts while holding down on the belt to cause a lot of tension. remove the belt and then back all the bolts out. you can also take a philips head screwdrive and slip it through one of the 3 holes and jam it up against the block or the water pump. that's a last resort though. good luck.

Have you thought about using an impact?

I GOT IT!

I finally got it, I used a set of vise grips and just held the pipe holding the fan and then loosened that last nut.
Thanks for all of your guys help.............I will be back with some more questions I am sure!
