Taking off pulley bolt

Ok I was going to replace my pulley seal while the engine was out of the car but couldn't find a way to hold it from rotating. So I re-installed the engine in the car, it still rotates! I have a long breaker bar, What gear should the car be in? I have the rear on Jack stands for access underneath. Should I put the car on the ground? How about E brake will it make a diff?

Thanks again, gotta keep my posts up past 1.334 per day or I'll get yelled at

Shawn,

Put it in 5th gear (less torque multiplication) and pull up the e-brake tight! Unless the e-brakes are worn or out of adjustment, it will be sufficient! Up on stands or not doesn't matter.

Thanks Warren and once again you are right. The bolt came off quite easily, must be because I am strong.

I am replacing the seal but I noticed that the PO must have "fixed" something along the case that was behing the pulley. There is a bead of????? it's like caulking or something. I am going to leave it alone and hope that when I replace the pulley seal the leak stops. If not I have another project for NEXT winter.
