1. remove all spark plugs
2. turn crank bolt so crank is at tdc
you can tell if the slot in sprocket is facing UP AND the piston in #1 cylinder is all the way UP towards head.....use a soft wood chop stick in #1 spark plug hole to feel the piston which should be right at the edge of the hole
3. now back off the crank bolt......clockwise i believe about 60 degrees
4. fill #1 hole with soft clothesline rope......3 feet or so leaving a grip sticking out of the hole for removal
5. return the crankbolt counterclockwise back to tdc slowly until the rope,piston,head meet in a solid jam with nothing moving
6. place your 1/2" breaker bar on a 15/16 6 point socket on the bolt.
7. place a length of pipe on the breaker bar
8. standing the passengers side of the car facing into the the engine bay grab the breaker bar and pull towards you slowly

i have never found a crankbolt which could resist such persuasion for long
