I generally use a lubricant like "Break Free" or a penetrating oil like, "Liquid Wrench" before I try to remove a potentially frozen nut or bolt. I allow the part to sit overnight after applying the oil and then the next day bang on it with a rubber mallet to loosen the rust. Works for me. Sometimes I get frustrated and freeze the nut/bolt with some liquid nitrogen, this causes the part to shrink a little allowing the two threads to separate. If you don't have liquid Nitro, you can use ice.

It's lefty loosey, just like normal. 22r crank bolts are wicked tight if they've never been off before. Probably a little rust in there as well. An air gun generally won't get it, no matter the brand. Best way is to use a chain wrench (available at Sears) on the pulley. Brace it up against the framerail to hold it. 19mm impact socket (not chrome) a good breaker bar and a length of pipe over the end. Muster up some strength and PUSH away from you. Try rocking on it a little. If you weigh more than 100#'s you should be able to do this with minimal hassle. Good luck.

Crankshaft pulley bolts (also know as harmonic balancer bolts) are sometimes reverse thread, so that the engine turning does not cause them to work free. It sounds like you have been tightening the bolt. Lefty loosy righty tighty is usual, but there are cases that are backwards, and this may be one!
Reverse the air gun and try!
Good luck!

Try squirt on a rust busting lube like 10-50 etc and let it sit overnight if necessary. Then before you apply torque tape it with a hammer to help loosen it.
However, this may seem like a dumb suggestion but there is a remote possibility that you may have your air gun, torque set to tighten instead of loosen.
That is the only logical I can think of to break your tools as you have described.
Good luck.

I don't know how it got so tight,but bigger air gun, impact socket,and when all else fails heat befre you gun it.How much heat is up to you and I never heard of 1200lbs maybe your going the wrong direction you should have broke the bolt by now good luck

I'd try turning it the other direction.

Fire is right it is on in a backwards turn.
