Hi Skip,
I just got the same question from another 2.5L V-6 owner...how did you get your bolt out? I will pass along any success stories.

Hi Skip,
You might try some penetrating oil, let it sit, then try rocking the bolt back and forth to break up the rust. Sometimes tightening it a little will break up the friction.  Also try a  longer breaker bar, and I assume you have the pulley wedged tightly. How about wedging the breaker bar against the ground and use the starter motor as an 'impact gun'. Please let me know if any of these are helpful. Best of luck!

PS Sorry for the delay but I just found your question in the 'pool' to which the other expert had referred it. Please 'rate' my answer, and where you find the question about 'volunteer of the month' please consider a 'yes' if my answer merits that. Thanks
