Default Taking off bolt on crank pulley

Hey, I was wondering if any of you know a good way to get the crank pulley bolt off, cuz when I try turning it it obviously just turns, so i tried putting a screw drive in the cams in a way it would not damage it and that didn't work, anybody have any good ideas? Really appreciated, this will be my last post for a while.

use an impact gun, if you don't have one, use a quality wrench (otherwise it will just break), put a long breaker bar on it, and use a hammer to hit the end.

Put the car on a frame lift, turn your steering wheel all the way to the left, take off the cover, get an air drive ratchet and it'll pop right out. No mess no fuss.

if you do not have access to a lift and air tools jack the car up, remove the small cover at the passenger side-end of the oil pan and expose the bottom part of the flywheel. Have a buddy wedge a big flat head screw driver in the teeth of the fly wheel and hold it there while you take a large breaker bar and probably an extension of some sort and wrench that thing off of there. The pulley should just slide off of there then. DON'T LOSE THE SMALL WOODRUFF KEY WHEN YOU REMOVE THE PULLEY!!!!
Don't take off the oil pan unless need to replace the gasket.

If you have access to air tools then get the impact wrench after it.

Oh yeah everything I have told you came straight outta sargeek's chilton's book and his was the second one that I have removed the same way.

Like svt said; use the screw driver flywheel trick if you're doing this at home without access to a lift. But if you can take it to some sort of auto hobby shop lift the car up and use the air ratchet. Much easier.

And DON'T LOSE THE KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And don't turn your pully or cam without the belt attached. If you do........bye bye timing..........
