I need to replace my drive belt but cannot get the pulley off, motor spins?

Any suggestions? Also it is reverse thread correct?

Thank You

Why would you need to take the pulley off the engine? Anyway, just take a little rope and put it down the spark plug hole/s to lock the engine in place.

On my MTD you have to drop the engine pulley to get to the Tran pulley that is located above it on the same shaft. I am replacing the drive belt.

Thanks

Ah, well its just a bolt way up the hole there, just use a little rope down the plug holes to lock the engine.
