That really worked? I have a belt wrench (rubber belt) wrapped around the pulley and i can't make that bolt move at all. As I turn the crank with my socket wrench, the belt wrench gets caught on the axle but no matter how hard I push against it, it doesn't move. I think if I tapped it with a hammer the belt would just flex and nothign would happen.
