crank pulley bolt

ive broken 3 ratchets. i have a huge breaker bar. we tried 3 different impact guns all the way up to 600ft/lbs. i snapped part of the pulley off tryingto shove something betwwen it nd the block. i did the screwdriver in tranny thing but it wont hold.

plus i have the jdm d15b and the pulley it has is open in the center so i cant use that hex key tool thing.

sssoooooooooooo wht do i do? :?

I don't know if the EG are the same, but I use it for the 94-97 accord and it works wonder.

Now keeping the pulley still is half the battle the other is breaking it loose.
you will break tools and bend metal.
Soooo a 10 ft breaker bar will help

and then all is good till a lead pipe bends
