Default Crank Pulley bolt: WTF?

Okay I have tried everything. Broke a 1/2inch ratchet with a huge pipe on the end, break bar wont budge it, 1/2 inimpact didnt do it. Now Im using a 3/4in 1300 ft/lb max torque impact wrench. Even cranked the psi to 110. It still wont f--king budge! What do I do? Just drive me car till my timing belt snaps and replace the motor?

I have tried everything. Im gonna go fix whats wrong with my exhaust, change my oil, and come back. If nothing, then I will give up. Mind u im at 230k and I really needed to change my Water pump, t belt and tensioner. Please help!

OMFG! IT IS A MIRACLE!!!!!! I DID IT!!!6 [freak]ING MONTHS AND I DID IT!!!! dIDNT NEED ANY BLASTER OR WD40. AND I USED CHAIN VICE GRIPS TO KEEP IT STILL WHERE THE POWER STEERING BELT ATTACHES AND IT HELD IT STILL JUST FINE. 1300/FT LB IMPACT FTMFW! [freak] THE DIRECTIONS. JUST CRANK THAT BITCH TO 110 PSI AND IT WILL WORK.

Yup I have the black one too and it makes life much much better. The best 20 bucks I have ever spent. And it works with almost all honda motors.

Yea I bought the black one because everyone told me it will work, and it didn't on my 93 Del Sol Si. I was pissed. With the 3/4 in impact, I could hold it still with my hand and bust it free. I would like to have the first one too, but it must be a new tool because I couldnt find it a year ago, except from Honda which never arrived.

3/4 in impact at 110 psi and chain vice grips own, because its a one size fits all.

Yep same story here. I bet a 1 inch industrial would own though, but I dont think my compressor could handle it. It can barely keep up now.
