I need to invest in a high torque impact... anyhow, where's a good place to wedge a screwdriver into?

1 more thing avoid extensions you loose a lot of power if you use ext ..you want to make impact to socket as short as possible

NAH, I know, I was saying, it's not a problem getting the pulley still. I had a screwdriver wedged in, I'm saying that pulley wrench is what I was looking into but it would be the same thing I'm doing now since it's already still.

You bi--, I broke my breaker bar and couldn't get it off with borrowed air tools either. I'm going to give it one last go with another breaker bar and extension. I broke a Goodwrench breaker bar on the axle nut after giving up on the crank pulley bolt. So I'm still stuck.

how are you breaking your breaker bar? are you using long extensions? I used an impact 17mm socket with an impact 2.5" (I think) extension and a 24" breaker bar. I put the breaker bar all the way up under the bumper, had my sister hold the screwdriver in the flywheel while I just stepped onto the bar forcing her down and breaking her loose.

Where are you guys wedging a screwdriver at on the flywheel? Has no one busted a tooth off?

I had the same trouble on my 91 Civic. My buddy came over with this tool he said is hard to find. It looked like a handle with a chain on the end. Basically, you wrap the chain portion on the main pulley, and use your ratchet/breaker bar/pipe or whatever you are using to break the bolt loose. He said make sure to use an impact gun to tighten the bolt when I was done with my repair.

i just used one of those holder tools with a big *** ratchet wedged against the lca. then i put a 18" breaker bar and a 6" extension on the bolt and gave it hell with my right arm. it broke loose after a slight struggle.

don't wedge a screw driver in there ... you're asking for more problems. especially when you get rushed like this, that's when bad stuff starts to happen.
