Yup, that's it. The crank dog is incorporated in the head of the rather
stout bolt that holds the hub to the crank.
One method that's been suggested to remove the bolt is to use a socket
(preferably 6-point) and breaker bar. Install it so the breaker bar handle
is near the floor on the LH side of the car (from the driver's point of
view), then crank the engine a bit. The handle will hit the floor, and full
starter torque will be applied to the bolt.
Personally I've always been able to turn the breaker bar myself,
transmission in 4th & parking brake set, to remove the bolt. But my cars
have never been started with the crank, so perhaps the bolt wasn't as tight
as some are.
