I considered that. If I had known how much of a pain that bolt would be, I would have had them loosen it for me. By the time I realized how bad it was though, I was already ass deep in disaster. I didn't want to try running the engine with a damaged crank pulley. Even with the extra money spent on the replacement pulley and special tools and, well, I went ahead and found a nice IR impact on ebay for the next time I do something like this... I'm still ahead of the game by a good $100 to $200.
