So, for posterity's sake, I put a 12" 3/8 drive extension through the spokes of the stock pulley and braced it against the edge of the block below it to the left. That let me use a breaker (actually, the front bumper support slipped over my breaker) to loosen it up.

The Stillen install instructions tell you to torque to 33 Ft/Lbs and then make a mark on the pulley and bolt and then turn the bolt again until the marks are 90 degrees off... Which I found to be totally impossible. I used the break (sans the bumper support lmao) to turn it as far as I could and only got it about 2/3rds of the way to 90 degrees.

Wstar, were you able to?

Oh, and I got the header re-installed with some fresh gasket maker and torqued down real good. Sooo easy with the stuff taken apart. Also having them wrapped makes it pretty stress free since I'm not worried about scratching them or nicking them while moving them or tightening the fasteners.
