Is it spinning on you? Pull off the passenger side plastic plate by the starter and expose the flywheel so you can put a screwdriver through it to wedge it. Then just get a big socket and wrench and a cheater bar and go to town. They are normal threads btw.

And don't forget to get a new bolt, it's a one use only piece. And do not use a bolt to pull the pulley back on - use a threaded rod and nut and washers - do a search on here on crank thread nightmares from using a bolt.

your gonna need a GOOD high torque impact and GOOD compressor. Your standard impacts arnt gonna be even close to knocking that bolt out.. i tried with a snap on impact on a 30 gallon compressor @110 psi lol (kinda small compressor for a impact but 20 psi over max rating lol) and a electric dewalt. they didnt do **** haha...
