You couldnt have have loosened it before you took the belt off? Or use the belt to hold it?

your best bet mate would be to use a rattle gun on the bolt , but you will need to hold the pully some how either re-fit the belt and then remove it. or if you think you can hold it wrap a rag around the pully and get one person to hold it and another to work the rattle gun you should get it BUT IT WILL BE VERY TIGHT and may also have loctite on the thead too. you may need to use an extension on the rattle gun to clear the radiator ! good luck mate

Rattle gun? Only if all else fails. Try refitting old belt and jam a piece of timber dowel between the pulley and belt in the pinch point as you turn the cap screw, using a big breaker.

243 Loctite the bolt back in when you reinstall.

Are you doing a pulley or cam upgrade?

When I did mine, I removed the inlet cam cover. The camshaft has a hex shape to be able to hold the shaft from turning with a big shifter. Not too hard to do.

^^^ this is what i'd be doing. to the best of my knowledge, the tolerances are small enough that if you rotate the cam without rotating the crank, you run the risk of hitting your pistons with your valves.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
