How to get stage 2 pulley off?
I've been trying to get the blue bolts off but cant due to the pulley rotating while I try. Do I just get someone to hold it while I try to torque them off?

Sorry if it's a repost. Couldn't really find anything with the search.

Good advice...I took the belt off first like a moron. I used the old stock belt and wrapped it around the pulley. Then I had someone hold the belt on the pulley and pull the other way. Took a little bit if effort but got it in time.

Ask the dealership to take my bolts off? I think not. Just would rather not deal with them at all. Yea I figured to leave the belt on. So just one person pulls this way while the other person tries to torque them off?

keep a little bit of pressure going towards the pulley down on the bit...so it won't slip, get a good size breaker bar and crack em loose, not a big deal

The problem I'm having is getting the pulley not to move. So I take it I just need someone to hold it while I loosen them up?

losen them with the belt still on. If that doesn't work you can heat them up, but people have reported lots of trouble getting them off.

Leave the belt on and put the car in gear and start turning the pulley. The tranny will hold it and it won't move. That is how I broke all mine loose then I took it out of gear. Putting it on I just had someone hold it tight and got them snug. If they put any type of loctite on it good luck getting them off.
