Get ready,  you have to remove the crank shaft pully to get at that last
nut.  You'll need a 6mm allen socket (a key will work, but a socket is 
WAY easier) and maybe some liquid wrench (I didn't need it). Then you 
can see the "hidden" nut, I think it's 5 or 5.5mm. You also have to
slack 
your belts.  Make sure you clean out the nuts with a paper clip or 
something so you get a good bite and not strip them.

HTH!

BTW
I have a 16v, but if I remember right it's the same on the 8v.
