Lift up the monster all the way on 3 ton jack stands find a 2 1/4 inch open end wranch take the rectangular rubber gummed at the bell housing bihind engine block and hold the engine from turning with the wrench.
Use a 13mm short socked to turn the drive shaft till you can get the wrench in place.
I usually tie up the wrench to keep it from falling if I'm by myself, or just put a piece of wood under it to keep it in place.
The cheapest I found is to by a set of 4 at Harbor flake with a 20% off coupon if you just want to get one wrench undertandably buy a single at Nothern tools you save about $10. But you won't get the other 3 wrenches.
Have fun working on your car and as always safety first hope this helps

I cannot take credit for this, found it on the forum. Take the drive belt off, and use as shown. It will lock up the pulley. First three are to take it off, the last is to put it back on.
