Remove the harmonic damper/pulley assembly.
Automatics only need do this, manual owners can place the car into first and put the handbrake on to lock the motor. Tricky this bit. Remove the starter motor and jam a screw driver into the ring gear, to prevent the motor from turning but there may well be a better way.
Get a 19mm socket and a driver (the longer the better, ie a torque wrench is good) and undo the bottom pulley bolt. It should be very tight (100+ lb/ft torque) so expect some fun.
Oh and by the way i found it easier to remove the first two pullies then wedge a pri-bar or crow-bar between two of the four "sticky outy bits" and pull against the breaker bar with 19mm socket on!!!!!!! Did that make any sense at all???!!!

good evening Vince is there anything you dont know about these surf's .
starter motor extraction is a bit drastic me thinks me is going to see a man with a garage who owes me a favor, air impact wrench would do it would it not
cutting it fine as i have arranged a greenlane run on the 28th and i take it i cant use it with a wobbly pulley or can i ?????????????

While the starter motor was out, you could replace the brushes and contacts etc. save doing it at a later date and they'll probably want doing anyway.

Anyway, saves taking starter motor out.
Thats all I do, the pry bar rests on the steering box, and heave with a breaker bar.
Its nearly out, but the pulley is off and available.
