vacuum pump

I am replacing my vacuum pump got the pump and the pulley off with no problem but can''t get the pulley back on at all. I have the tool and i tighten the bolt on then center nut down and when i hold the bolt and tighten the nut all it does is loosen the the bolt and it doesn't budge the pulley...What am I doing wrong?

thanks

Unfortunately you don`t say what you are working on so I assumed it is a serp belt pulley.
