Right well I went out this morning and used the starter trick, did a lovely job slackened it right off 
Only problem is getting the new one on! Took the old pulley off, slid the new one on, started tightening it up...
Then stopped tightening it up, I can still see about 1cm of shaft on the bolt but I can't get it to go any tighter. I also got the torque wrench out only to find its past the 40nm tightness. So now I'm stuck with no idea what to do next. It was a new bolt that came with it, but they looked identical thought stupidly I didn't check the threads and such so I'm really hoping the bolt isn't the wrong one. I'm so certain that the bolts were identical, but you know what its like where you start to doubt yourself if you didnt take a photo at the time.
This is what I ordered http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/191890477306?
Any advice as to what I should do now would be great, though I'm guessing the answer is going to be impact wrench for christmas? With it hanging off like this I can't even limp her to the garage for them to fix my mess.
