And lefty still very tighty.

I use a 3/4-drive deep socket and long (maybe 4-5 ft) bar to get those bolts loose. Waste not your time with flimsy 1/2"-drive tools on these. They will break or at least bend a lot. Some folks are using impact guns but I still just use the big bar.

They're on pretty good, aren't they?

I had a 2 1/2 foot breaker bar on the bolt, and a 4 foot pipe on a chain wrench wrapped around the pulley (pulley was already trashed).
All my weight on the pipe and no movement.

18v electric Milwaukee impact driver made very short work of it.
