Subject:      How to untorque the pulley?

I am looking at both Bentley and Haynes, but I need this list(I'm unable to
get to the archives also).
My engine is out and on the bench and as a matter of prudence I feel I
should replace the rear main seal and maybe oil pump gaskets since I have
new ones.
The manuals are weak on the procedure. How do I untorque the pulley bolt?
Really, how do I hold the pulley while me and six friends and a 10 foot
cheater loosen that thing? (I exaggerate.)
Do I need any special tools to replace the seal or just pry out the old,
clean and put a new one back?
Also, where do I buy the "sealing nuts" for the oil pump that bentley says
is a required replacement item?
Many thanks und happy Dankfest!
