When I changed the pulley on the Morris recently, getting the retaining
bolt off was the easiest part. With a ring spanner that was about 12" long
I was able to undo it with two fingers (once I'd flattened the locking
tab). However, if this is a problem a way I know that works is to put a
chunk of wood across the engine compartment underneath the pulley if
possible, put the spanner on the bolt, put the car into top gear and push
it (backwards I think).
