who could offer me some help? How do you break the crankshaft pulley bolt loose? I'd like someone who is around town to maybe come over and make sure I'm doing this right. I got the book and all and have it mainly apart except one pulley, but I'm scared about delving into the crankshafts/lifters etc w/o someone knowledgeable and my "friend" who was going to help for some reason isn't wanting to anymore. Hell I'd pay someone to stand around and make sure I don't screw this up....
 
From the manual:

12. Loosen the large crankshaft sprocket bolt in the center of the crankshaft pulley. It might be very tight, so, to break it loose, wrap a rag around the pulley and attach a chain wrench. Slip a 1/2 inch drive extension through the hole in the inner fender and into the sprocket bolt head. Turn the extension with the breaker bar.

Use a rag to protect the pulley and use a breaker bar with an extension. Thats it.
 
and I read that, I wish it was just that easy as it sounds. gotta be trying to loosen it to realize how much of a byatch it really is.
