I am trying to install a new waterpump on my dads e34 535i. I have my 32mm wrench on the nut and turn clockwise, and it spins everything. What methods do you guys recommend doing in order to prevent the entire pulley from spinning, how can I lock it down? I tried hitting it with a hammer, but it doesnt break it loose. I need some ideas.

If its the same as M20 engine... I remove 2 of the pulley bolts so I can fully fit the wrench on the fan-nut. Next, take a smaller wrench and counter hold (or prop the wrench against something) one of the pulley bolts while you loosen the fan bolt.Michael Spiegle

new issue, i dont know if i messed up when tightening the alternator belt, but when we attemped to start the car, it struggled a bit. then when it finally turned on, the belt snapped. Both the alternator belt and the power steering belts snapped. I am afraid I screwed something up, but dont know what. The belts needed replacing anyways from the looks of them, but is there anything that I couldve done wrong to cause that to happen besides overtightening the belts?Claus Luthe is my hero.
