Thanks. I failed to mention that the only parts left on the chassis is the
engine, transmission and left front suspension. So, I ended up using
a socket set extension bar and jammed it against the chassis and one
of the pulley/extension bolts. Then, I followed your advice and it finally
gave.
The problem I faced was the closed end of the wrench was jammed solid into
the drive dog and wouldn't budge. So, being the genius that I am (yea,
right, they
say), I turned the crank in the opposite direction using a large screw
driver with
the bolts and backed out the threads on the bolt. Hey, it worked.
