Well I found the special Honda/Acura 50mm crank pulley tool at Pep Boys for $40, so we'll give it another go next Saturday, out of time for today.

Check this, I bent the 50mm tool trying to loosen the crankshaft bolt the "proper" way:

Holy crap!!
Are you are trying it with a warm/hot engine? :confused: |

Next weekend I will try heating the bolt directly with a small propane torch or some such. After that, car shop! |
DUDE i just hit mine with my craftsman 350lb torque impact wrench in my garage. Took 3 seconds 2 come loose. I didn't even use a tool to hold the crank, just hit the crank bolt with a stong impact gun.
