What is the best way to keep the crankshaft from turning when trying to remove the crank bolt on the balancer? I don't have the luxury of an impact gun.

i use a pipe wrench
I have a tool that goes in the starter position and locks the flywheel. Pretty handy for stuff like this. Other people use chains with success.
Put your socket on there and have your buddy start the motor. Ha sorry.. I couldn't help myself!
But if ya think about it it would work.
Put a chain through the balancer and through the frame.
I would be scared to snap that idle pulley off tho. But if it works then.........
I would also be afraid that I would snap off the idler pulley. It might work better using the p/s pulley but I think I will try the chain to the frame method
Chain works perfect every time.
