Crankshaft damper retaining bolt
What is the easiest way to get this bolt off. I don't have a holding tool for the flywheel and all I have is a 15 gal compressor with 120-150psi. This is the only part that is holding me up so I can replace the harmonic balancer. Any word of advice or pics would be great.

put a breaker bar on it with the handle on the driver side of the motor as close to the ground as u can. when the handle turns it does not hit the ground, then put a piece of wood under the tip of the handle so it will catch the ground when it spins. unplug your coil and bump your starter, it will break the bolt loose bec the motor will spin the breaker bar clockwise and the bar will hit the ground(wood) stopping the bar, and loosening the bolt

i think he has an impact, bc he states he has a compressor, what else would you use a compressor for taking off the bolt...... if not you desperately need one.
