If you have not purchased a air wrench, here is what I have done on my 89 Honda.

I removed the cover to the flywheel. Get a hardened metric bolt in the thread that is used on the clutch pressure place. Put the bolt in from the pan side. It will thread in about 4-5 threads. Rotate the engine until this bolt is up against the transmission housing. Get a 3' piece of pipe and stand on it.

I purchased a 1/2 inch, 18 inch breaker bar and several extensions to get it beyond the edge of the fender. Otherwise I could not get enough torque on it to get it to come loose.

I reverse everything to put it back on, but I only use about a 1 1/2 feet on the pipe extension and pull it as tight as I can.

Best of Luck to you.
