I had the same problem,
I ruined a couple of wrenches, used them with a cheater bar (a Piece of
Pipe), broke the Craftsman ones, got new ones.
I wound up using a ballpine hammer and a chisel. I beat that thing for 30
min. before it finally let go. I had to purchase a new after but I got it
off.

Subject: Help! with crankshaft pulley nut
Hi,
Due to a knocking rod bearing in my Spit I'm trying to get my spare motor
rebuilt over the next couple of weeks, I cannot get the #$%^& nut off the
end of the crankshaft though! Is this nut reverse threaded by any chance?
There is no locking tab and I have tried and broken two tools so far trying
to remove this thing, I don't have an impact wrench, is that the only way?
Why in the hell is this thing so tight? Any advice will be greatly
appreciated!
Thanks,
Glenn
