and the breaker bas was about 10 feet!
with another bar holding the head bolt through the hole in the pulley
1/2" extensions
but the ratchets were the weakest link

Much easier then messing around trying to hold the pulley itself.

ratchets are not designed to handle the force required to 'break free' a crank pulley bolt.
use a 1/2 inch breaker bar, and slip a pipe over that.
lead pipe = soft - use galvanized pipe.
glad you were able to get it off.
