I have my PS pump out, and I am ready to pull off the pulley (I rented powerbuilt puller).

But, I can't figure out how to get the nut off of the end. This is the nut you use to crank the engine by hand. I tried to lock some vice grips to the flange and push against that, but I can't get the nut to budge!

How have others here done this in the past?

thanks in advance
