    OK I know its been posted like 1000 times, but I seriously
    think that my pulley bolt is damaged or something, cuz no
    matter what I do, it won't budge. So far I have tried:

    1. 650ft/lb impact wrench with chain wrench and some
    rubber belt wrapped around pulley to prevent it from
    spinning. I broke the chain wrench.

    2. The same set up with a 7 foot breaker bar.


    3. the old put it in 5th and stand on the brake whilst
    reefing on the bolt.

    I dunno what else to do. I am ready to take it to Honda,
    just to see if they can break it with their 1" impact.
    But I am worried that it might break the bolt. What does
    everyone think??

    ===================

    Last guy put LockTite on it, rather than oil, per the manual.

    Ain't torque amazing?

    This may be a good start:

    I did basically the same thing as on the webpage. Figure out a way to
    keep the pulley from turning (I used a metal bar, like the webpage, but
    had mine braced on the ground, not the car). Then get a good 1/2" drive
    breaker bar and a 1/2" drive 20" extension to get outside the fender.
    Put a big pipe on the breaker bar (4-5 ft. worked for me) and watch your
    extension twist over 90 degrees before the bolt breaks loose as you put
    your weight on the pipe. Supporting the axis of rotation of the
    extension per the web page certainly will help things. Oh yeah, it won't
    hurt to wear some eye protection too in case some of your tools break or
    slip.

    This is easy.

    Apply PB Blaster to break loose the corrosion.

    Now the "trick".........

    using to hammers, hit the head of the pulley bolt 3-4 times hard.

    Wait 30 minutes, repeat and wait 15-20 mintues, Bolt should come right off.

    The nice Caduim plating Honda uses on their bolts, makes a very effective
    thread locker.
