Don't use the stepped block.  You run a high risk of damaging the belt.  I use two methods for this sort of thing:

1) Put the bike in 5th gear.  Put the front wheel against something solid (wall of the garage).  Have someone stand on the rear brake.  Use a wrench with good leverage to remove the engine pully and clutch hub nuts.  Remember the clutch hub nut is left-hand thread.

2) Use the impact wrench.
