crank pulley bolt? or crank pulley?
if it's crank pully bolt, then you better still have your motor in your engine bay. Most of people does it by put a breaker bar on the crank pulley bolt, and let the breaker bar handle rest on the ground. and then crank the car few times, but DO NOT start the car. It will break lose the crank pulley bolt.
or you can use a impact ranch w/ about 600 ft/lbs torque to losen it up.
