Yeah, pulley bolt came out with a proper socket, had to remove it in order to get to the belt. I bought the proper tool for holding the crank still when I ordered the new belt (and it got here first), but I still ended up standing on the end of my 30" breaker bar before it budged. New belt should be here tomorrow.
