after about 10 minutes of freaking sweat, somone holding down the brake, car in 5th, and someone holding the crank pulley with a strap wrench, I GAVE UP!
Took it to a mechanic shop...paid the guy $2 and whoop whoop and it was off....gotta love air tools.
I then tightened it back up with my ratchet, drove back home

and did what I had to.
That sucker is a bitch to get off.....I hope I never have to touch it again.!
