[Vwdiesel] Injection Pump Replacement This Weekend

Hi everybody,
	Its Friday night, about 10:41PM.  I'm calling it quits for the
evening with regards to my IP swap on this rabbit.  I knew this would
be a difficult project, but I didn't think I'd have difficulties this
early in the process.  Argh.
	Unfortunately, my Rabbit has A/C (not working, yet still
there.)  So, if I understand Bentley correctly, I need to at least
loosen the tension on the A/C compressor tensioner in order to loosen
the A/C belt so that I can remove the outer crankshaft pulley.  Is
this correct?  I had no problems getting the alternator belt loose and
the alternator out.  Do I really need to loosen the tension on the A/C
compressor belt?  The reason I ask is that I can't get my 17mm wrench
(or socket) in there to move the nuts.  I don't know how they were
ever tightened up the last time.
	Also, regarding removing the four allen bolts holding the
outer crankshaft pulley.  The second I try to loosen any of those
bolts, the pulley spins.  Any suggestions here?

Thanks,
Bryan
