Sorry, can't post pic of tool. It's basically a lever with fingers that fit into the spokes on the pulley to hold it while you loosen the bolt.
hope this helps.

great thanks man

 

once you take the belt off you tried putting bolts in the 3 threaded holes didnt you?

And i had to use an impact to bust it loose.

 

hey dennis where did you get that writeup form?

 

I am a autobody repairman at a Chevrolet dealer, so I have access to GM service manuals.
