i put a tool through the holes in the pulley on to the torx screw located behind the pulley, and simply used that to stop it from turning,

dont think mine was a reverse thread though cud be wrong

if that fails, stick a bar on it and crank the engine on the starter, DONT do it if cam belt is off though, and watch out for the bar flying off hurting some on or ya car
