All you are doing is the timing belt and you are removing the injectors?! No, that can't be right. I know you have the Accord and I have the Civic, but they are VERY similar. Something is wrong in your procedure.

On the crank pulley... that stuck me too, my first time. Power tools were useless. I got the Ft lbs I needed by buying a 12' steel pipe from a Big Box, buying a 1/2" drive breaker bar, and standing my 150lbs body on the end of the pipe threaded onto the breaker bar, on the socket, on the bolt. I gently bounced myself until after a minute it popped. Too much force, too quickly seemed like a bad idea. 12 feet times 150 lbs, what is that, 1800 ft lbs of torque?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
