Well you got it right by backing off the holding nut. You didn't have to completely remove the stud, but that is neither here nor there now that it's out. You will see that that stud actually threads through the pulley and into a detent to keep the pulley from backing out once it's been adjusted. Now for the fun part of trying to get that pulley loosened up. By turning the forward portion of the pulley counter clockwise, it will allow the belt to sit deeper in the groove (loose belt). Once the belt in on the necessary pulleys, go ahead and turn that pulley in and you will see the belt tighten up as the pulley becomes more narrow (tight belt). Once you have the correct tension on the belt, make sure the threaded hole where the stud belongs is lined up with a detent in the shaft.

The fun part usually comes when you realize that the pulley is frozen. A little bit of penetrating oil and some mild heat are usually enough, but once you do get them loosened up make sure you anti-sieze them so it isn't an issue in the future.

Also and FYI...make sure you have the water pump belt adjusted tight enough that it won't slap the lower radiator tube that connects the engine to the lower radiator outlet. I've seen lots of water leaks due to such situations.

Hope this helps ya out!
