If you have access to a torch–even a hand held propane torch–heat the crank bolt (just the bolt, not the surrounding balancer) until it’s really hot and then immediately try to loosen it.

Ok cuz i keep calling mechanic shops they keep saying i have to buy the special socket for it to work only

Well, yeah, the method I mentioned is if you are not willing or able to do it properly with the correct tools.

you have a 1/2" breaker bar? how about 3/4"? you have anyway to lock the flywheel so it does not rotate? are you sure your impact really is producing 300+ lbs? a $40 harbor freight model does not

I bought a damper to hold the balancer in place how do i lock the flywheel Its 250lbs

I bought that tool, plus the long thick 3/4" drive breaker bar and socket, from Amazon. Also a 3/4" extension to bring the big breaker bar out from the wheel well. You need a lot of leverage to get that bolt loose. One youtube video showed a long pipe extension on a 1/2" drive breaker bar. The 3/4"…

Is there a way to get it without that socket
