Hi, you need to lock the pulley in place, do a search for crank pulley removal, and you'll find all the info.
I would advise against the engine turn trick, I made a pulley lock by screwing two short lengths of 8mm(I think) threaded rod into the holes in the pulley, and putting a flat bar through them and agaist the chassis, then use a breaker bar to crack the nut.
