Thanks to all who replied, I did neglect to mention that this was 
being done with the radiator still on.
Andy wins the KISS prize, I wedged my wrench between the steering 
gear box and the frame, punched the under hood starter switch (I did 
also remove the coil wire Andy), and wowzer!!!  Spun the bolt loose, 
and Dear Friends it will come out through the hole in the Radiator.
Now on to the installation of my Puller Hayden fan and Honda 
Motorcycle Radiator.  Should put a final end to my over heating 
problems. FYI I am putting the Aux Radiator in series with the 
Heater, seems a much simpler way than trying to force small hoses 
onto the bypass outlet.

Have your breaker bar wedged against something solid and hit the starter
button - coil wire disconnected please.

Any tips on how to remove the TR-3 Crank Bolt? (the one running
through the fan hub extension) Is putting the car in Gear, 1st or
Reverse enough to allow breaking it free or do I have to jam the
flywheel ring gear too?

All tips, comments, suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks
