Welcome to our world! Sounds like you know what you're doing. The easiest thing to do is wrap the belt around the pulley and hook it on a bracket or bolt. Turn the crankshaft bolt counterclockwise until the belt tightens up and holds the pulley. If you have compressed air and an impact wrench, that will shock the bolt off very easily too.
