Ok I know there are already posts about this but I need help. I was attempting to do the timing belt and I got caught up on the crank pulley bolt. I can not get the bolt to break free. I have tried two different impacts and neither have worked. Is there any tricks to break it free? I don't have the special tool so I can't use a breaker bar. I also don't have torches I can use, all I have is a propane torch that is not even close to being hot enough.

Map gas and try the impacts again? My first t-belt job years ago, mechanic used a chain wrench over the p/s row, got it off, made afew small chips that I had to clean up w/ a file. Not sure if you could get a good purchase w/ a pry bar on the flywheel via the inspection hole in the block. Last trick I've heard of is removing a spark plug, let's say #1 cyl, when piston is not @ TDC, feed a thick nylon rope down the hole, then bring to/close to TDC. The rope will prevent any further rotation. But then IMO you're taxing the internals and even the valves too possibly
Maybe combine afew of the ideas above like chainwrench + prybar + map gas + huge breaker bar

rent the tool is probably the best option, dont scuff it up too much and return it when the job is done, thats what I didMRT http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=202004

Op - drive down to Honda, ask them to undo it then nip it back up.

If at first you don't succeed, Try again. Don't give up too easily, persistance pays off in the end.
