put a 1 1/4 socket and breaker bar on the big bolt on the damper on the front of the engine to hold it from turning...

Yes you can use one of the holes in the flexplate and catch a ridge on the back of the block with a large screw driver or a small pipe, it takes another person too.

I simply get the bolt and wrench in the position with the least leverage for the engine to turn, yank the wrech, out it comes.

I have a long 12' double boxed end 6 point wrench I use like said,get it into position with least amount of leverage to turn the engine. have your buddy hold the crank bolt again also use 2 wrenches hooking the open end with the boxed end of the other to make it 14-15 inches for more leverage.

Thanks, I cant get a socket on there without it coming off because the heads of the bolts are so short. I may try tomorrow with a breaker bar and very carefully try to apply torque without twisting off of the head.
That is exactly why I said to take the socket to the grinder and flatten the end so that it fits down on the head of the bolt square and not on the internal taper of the socket.

I took a grinder to the socket and that did it. The motor is now sitting on my garage floor.
Glad you got it.
