air torque wrench may work, but it didn't for my old k8, even at 350lbs
The way I got mine off was the ghetto dangerous way
Here's mine about to get the might of my starter motor! You probably want to disconnect the fuel relay or something to make sure it doesn't start though.
Just set the wrench in line with the direction of the pulleys axis and have the end of the bar touching the ground. The breaker bar has nowhere to go, meaning the bolt has to spin off. I accept no responsibility for any destruction caused!
