The idea is to smack the spanner HARD with a hammer.
If that still fails (e.g. some muppet has loctited it on), take a length of 20 - 25mm flat bar, drill a 6mm hole in one corner, remove one of the pulley bolts, and bolt the bar in place, using a slightly longer bolt, then turn the pulley until the bar locks against the centre hub.
If that still fails (e.g. some muppet has loctited it on), take a length of 20 - 25mm flat bar, drill a 6mm hole in one corner, remove one of the pulley bolts, and bolt the bar in place, using a slightly longer bolt, then turn the pulley until the bar locks against the centre hub.
