Default problem turning crankshaft pully to tdc

hey guys, i'm new at this so have a bit of patience, I'm doing some work to my 97 EX. I'm taking out the cylinder head and i'm also going to change the timming belt on it. I've have been trying to turn the cranckshaft pulley in order to set the #1 piston to tdc, but the pulley won't move.
Any suggestions

Put it in neutral. Take the spark plugs out. If it still wont turn something is bad wrong

take out the spark plug in cylinder 2 and put a ratchet extension in the hole and turn the crank pulley. when the extension doesnt go up and is about to start going back down thats tdc. ghetto tricks
