OK,
I am doing a underdrive pulley and a A?C delete on my stang, I am up to the damn water pump pulley............I got off 3 of 4 bolts, now the question? How do you get off the 4th bolt? The pulley spins and I have nothing to stop it from spinning so I can loosen the last bolt. Any ideas?
Thanks alot.

If the pully's got a slit or an opening in it, put a screw driver through it and have it wedge up against the block or something.

Or put the belt back on it so it will not spin once you get the bolt out take the belt off.

I finally got it, I used a set of vise grips and just held the pipe holding the fan and then loosened that last nut.
Thanks for all of your guys help.............I will be back with some more questions I am sure!

Sounds like you already solved your problem, but what you could have done is threaded in two of the bolts about half way and use the leverage of a long screwdriver between the bolts while you loosen the last bolt.

I agree that a better way would be to loosen the bolts before you take off the belt though.
