Put the correct size socket on a breaker bar, place on the main pulley bolt, and rotate clockwise.

Edit; Forgot to mention you gotta put the parking brake on and put the trans in neutral.

If your under the Jeep take a Big ash screwdriver with you. Wedge the SD against a tooth or two and side of the trans case and pry up, the fly wheel will move around. Slow put them your not up and down twenty nine times either.

Never be sorry. We all started out as newbs at one point or another. Yes, the center bolt on the main pulley, aka the harmonic balancer.
