cambelt 2002 LT28 95 TDI?

I own a VW LT28, purchased of a friend! new years eve the van came to a halt, The engine didnt jam or lock up. after inspection I found the water pump bearing failled, causing the belt to slip a tooth or few.
I live very remote in mid wales where mobile mecanic's are has rare as hens teeth. I am cabable of changing most parts, even full engines & gear boxes, although I have never changed a cambelt. I now have a new belt kit & a peter russek manual. I have removed the front of the van. So far am unable to release the large nut on the crank pulley, that was why I ordered a manual, living where I live meant due to the freezing condition I only recevied it yesterday. it is a help but now I'm unsure if its possible to undo the crank pulley with a airgun? if so which way? can I do this without the special tools required? is it possible to knock somthing up in the workshop? or use other clamps or grips? can you please give me some guidance. I wish getting someone else was a option. until I get back working I cant afford to pay a garage bill.

it will come of with a air gun but make sure you lock the crankshaft flywheel with a bar or something .if you spin it over you will hit the valves

Sorry not much of an answer
highlight question then select copy from menu bar top of screen post into cars and vans you have 3 sources of receiving information then. if it don't work copy into word file then re-copy to the two forum titles.
I've only removed one from an Austin van that was anti clockwise if my memory serves me right with a socket and tommy bar and a bl**dy hard whack with eye protetion on.
