Lock the flywheel with a large flathead screwdriver and use that breaker bar again. It can be tricky getting the screwdriver to stay in place, but its the best way in my opinion.

you probobly need to heat up the bolt with a torch for a bit. My b18a engine has the same thing and I have to heat up the bolt to loosen it a bit

...or you could buy the proper tool from Harbor Frieght or Honda or Moroso or any of the other myriad companies that sell them.

Also, 100psi isn't a whole lot when dealing with these crank pulley bolts, and the torque rating of the gun is much more important.

Only one problem, and that is that in PA, a lot of Honda dealers do not stock special order parts. And, if in a jam, the half-ass way is actually a really efficient way, but in the long run...yes...buy the tool, its the smart idea if you plan on removing and reinstalling the crank pulley.
