Default Removing the Pulley Nut w/ out a impact gun?

I dont have a air compressor / impact gun, and im doing my first timing belt / water pump job. How do you guys go about removing the pulley nut w/ out a impact?

use a 1/2" ratchet with an extension. Put it with the handle coming out toward the front of the car and push down.

heat up the nut with a propane torch for a minute or so. That might help a bit.

Moroso makes a tool for honda and acuras for crank pulleys. some single cams have holes in them you can jam a screw driver in on of the holes.

no it would work because engines rotate clockwise if looking at the crank pulley so if he put the socket and breaker bar on it and pushed counterclockwise while the engine is beign cranked it would break the nut free

just make sure you hold on to that breaker bar with all your might becuase if you let it loose you wont like what it could do to your fender :/

i dont think u understand my friend.. lol a pully bolt is not reverse threaded like u may think.. by cranking the motor *clockwise* u are creating an opposite pressure on the bolt *counter clockwise* thus freeing the bolt... i dont mean to be a dick.. but next time u correct someone check the facts...
Edit: damn people work fast... thanks for the back up vtakkk the exact answer i was typing lol

remove the cover for the flywheel and jam a scew driver against the teeth that would keep the crank from spining now i use a 1/2 ratchet and with one hand hold the screwdriver in place and with the other loosen the bolt. if you can tell one of your friends to loosen the bolt while you hold the screwdriver.
