Cranky nuts

[Andrew Lindeman <drfaustus@london.crosswinds.net>]

I'm having a tough time at something and wonder if anyone can offer some advise.

I'm trying to replace my timing chain, and other bits in there, and cannot 
loosen
the nuts from the end of the crank shaft.  Currenty I have the handbrake pulled
TIGHT.  I also have my ski pole between my brake pedal and drivers seat.  I
still cannot move the nut without moving the whole car (it's in first gear).
Any suggestions?
