Use a good 1/2 inch impact gun like a Macto or Snap On with 150psi of air behind it and a 19mm impact socket. Crank bolt comes right off.

Re: Tips for removing the crankshaft pulley bolt?
I started changing my timing belt but got stuck at the crankshaft pulley bolt. Neither of my impact guns could get it off. I tried turning the compressor pressure up to 125 psi and still nothing. So I took off the starter and put a big screwdriver in the flywheel teeth. I still couldn't get it to budge with a breaker bar so I put a 4 foot pipe over it and tried again. My 1/2" extension snapped. That extension and my impact gun have gotten a lot of tough bolts off and haven't failed me ever. So I know it's not just my tools. I don't have cheap tools either.
What else can I do? I was gonna stop by a few shops to see if they have a stronger gun but most of them were already closed so I'm stuck for now.
Should be called Snap-Off instead lol

Re: Tips for removing the crankshaft pulley bolt?
Thanks for this. Had a stubborn bolt on a 2000 Civic with T belt that is triple its intended lifetime. Used the breaker bar and jackstand method and it made such a big crack that I thought I broke a tool first before checking the bolt.
I've done 4-5 of these before with my own air tools and to have one that didn't budge with them was a surprise.

Re: Tips for removing the crankshaft pulley bolt?
A harmonic impact socket and a decent 1/2 impact will do it usually.
A harmonic impact socket has more mass than a standard impact socket...this will help loosen it by using that mass in rotational force.
