Help please - Taking off underdrive pulley
I'm taking off the underdrive pulley from my 2000 2.5RS
When I use my breaker bar to unbolt it, it just turns the pulley. I had someone sit in the car and hold the break but I don't think it did anything... should I try again? I don't have an impact gun unfortunately.
Any other suggestions?

crank shaft.. depends on if you have a manual or an automatic.
if you have a manual put it in gear (1st or reverse) pull the hand brake on then loosen the bolt. If you have an automatic take off the inspection cover for the timing belt on the drivers side. the cam shaft pully should have 'spokes' on it.. take some heavy wire and run it thru one of the spoaks and around a bolt on the block and wrap it a bunch of times, the loosen it up.. this method works great if you are planning to replace the timing belt... if not i would suggest finding another way to do this because you run the risk of the timing belt slipping a tooth or overstressing the belt, thus weakining it..
as far as the alturnator... take it down to a local auto parts store and find the youngest kid working there and ask him to pull it off for you..
