Just did this job this past weekend for the first time. The way that I got my crank bolt off was to jam a screwdriver in the flywheel teeth as outlined in the FAQ. Very simple. Also, I was jumping up and down on my ratchet and the thing still would not come off so what I did was to lay down with my foot on the ratchet handle and push. I had to brace myself with my arms over my head against the wall of my carport. It was very easy this way. I was able to apply quite a bit more force this way than my own weight (Think about how strong your legs are!). Might want to think about where you position your car before you get things torn apart in case you have to do something like this.
