    Doing the water pump/timing belt kit job. Had a helluva time getting the crank bolt off but I got it. Impact wouldn't even get it but I laid on my back and put my feet on the tire and pulled and pushed until I almost had a hernia and it finally popped loose! BUT now the damn pulley wont budge at all! I tried pulling then wedging a pry bar on the back side wedged against the ac bracket as well as the lower cross-member but it wont budge loose! The book says to use two pry bars or screwdrivers behind it on the sides, but theres nothing to wedge it against! It's just a plastic cover behind the pulley! I even tapped it a bunch with a hammer while i had pressure with a prybar but it still didnt budge. WTF!?

    Do I need some kinda puller? Book says not to use a jaw type puller but doesnt say what else to use?? So frustrated.
