Re: timing belt shredded

The simplest way, though kind of hesitant to use, is to use a large breaker bar and socket, wedge it against a solid piece of the truck. Then disconnect the ignition system or remove all the spark plug wires from the plugs and "bump" the starter with the ignition key. The engine starter should have enough torque to loosen the pulley bolt.

An optional method would be to wedge a screwdriver into the flywheel plate (you'll have to remove the cover)...this could be used to retorque the pulley bolt when you're done. Good luck!
