Thanks hogweed.
I'm gonna try to hold the belt the stupid first and then I will take a look at your suggestion.
BUt I will loosen the rad support.

Cutting the allen wrench was the hardest part.

I didnt even have to pull the rad support. But it looks like I have to pull it to replace the belt on my electric fan... its missing.

I didn't block off the belt. Just used a 2 foot cheater bar and braced my right hand against the power steering pulley and gave it a medium yank to break it loose.
