Any tips? - I loosed the belt for the hydrolic pump,
but I  didn't get enough slack to remove the belt.  I
removed the top  rubber  mount for the aux radiator -
but the L shapped attachment  strap gets in the way
when my pliers finally get a grip on the nut and  I
want to go counter-clockwise.  The nut may be seized
up a bit -  because with small pliers I got some grip
on the shouldered nut - but it  just slips.

Do I have to crank the engine to get the PS pump  belt
off?  Does anyone have a favorite plier that works
just great  for accessing the lower nut?  The aux
radiator seems diffiicult to  remove, but that would
certainly improve access to the nut.

I bought  new shoulder nuts 4 months ago - I think I
knew trouble was  coming.

short end, and then used a vise grip or such for extended reach. Still wasn't  
easy, but do-able.
