THe fan belt method works for Q&D operations. If u think u will need to R&R the bolt several times then take a pully or other suitable piece of steel and cut a hole in the center big enuf for the socket to pass thru and then two mores on each side to slide over the bolt heads and weld a handle on it.

3hree other methods:

If your pully puller has a hole big enuf for a 1/2 inch extension to pass thru the n remove the puller bolt, stick the extension thru it, snap on the socket and bolt it the assembly to the pulley as if to remove the pully. Wedge a tire iron or something into the puller as a handle.

Get an accomplace to hold the flywheel with a GOOD spanner wrench is another way. DON"T wedge a screw driver in the flywheel teeth. They mite break.

Place the torque wrench onto the bolt as if to tighten it. Usea tire iron or other suitable such tool and stick the end of the tyre iron under the head of one of the side bolts and the handle of the tyre iron against the socket of the torque wrench at rite angles. Hold the tyre iron and pull the torque wrench.
