    Oh ... I see it wants to be stubborn then ...

    Do you have a big square sided screwdriver ... Put the nut that came off back on .... You might notice that the 3 nuts form a shape of a triangle .... Put the square of the screwdriver shaft between the 2 nuts and put ring spanner on the 3rd nut .... OR use the socket set

    Use the screwdriver as a brace between the 2 nuts to hold the pulley in a fixed position

    and then with the socket set ... give it a wrench ... or hit a ring spanner //
    Trick is to have the end of the screwdriver stop on the chassie rail as in the photo ... "Bottom RH corner" // something it can be stopped on from turning /// Use your spare hand to hold it in position

    Nothing seems to be straight forward

    Khos, you pull off the rocker gear before removing the heads.
    Just loosen each bolt in turn a couple of turns, and put the pushrods in numbered holes in your plywood or cardboard.
    You may have to hold down the followers while pulling out the pushrods so they do not fall out.
    Regard sPhilip A

    all followers came off , couldn't help it, I know this is going to sound like a stupid question but can't I recover them when the heads come off , BTW I still can't get the heads off with the rocker arm assembly all pulled out

    with regards to the Pushrods I made a board to push all rods in their respective holes

    The way to remove this stubborn little countersunk screw is as follows, Obtain a reasonably heavy hammer ar 4 pound mallet, a few short sharp cracks to its head and try again with the allen key. You will notice the screw has a large countersunk surface, this acts as a taper and is virtually impossible to undo unless you hit it end on first to 'break' the hold of the taper.
    To date, and I have undone many of these, this is the only method I have found that works.
