I like how you think. Simply envisioning what this would look like made me ROFL!

i didnt use a ladder or a 30' pipe. But i did use a 10ft pipe and jumped and hung from it

Otherwise get a ladder and inch breaker bar and a 30 ft cheater bar.

Did you actually use an acetylene torch, or a propane torch. Either way that's a lot of heat to put into that area. Please tell me you plan to replace the bolt.

I used MAPP gas. And yes i have a new OEM replacement bolt, which i will be properly torquing to spec.

Everyone keeps saying this. It's not. I have the replacement bolt in front of me, its regular right hand thread.

My bad! Excuse my mistake.

Update: Got that f***er out. Torched it for 15 min, got the crank holder to press on the ground, and then jumped on the end of a 10ft pipe on a 3/4" breaker bar. Unthreaded by hand after the initial CRAK. thanks guys. Now to replace the chain and guides.

Dont go incremental, get an inch impact wrench and apply all 2000 ft/lb of it.

I couldnt get the main nut off the back of my gearbox and id tried all the diy things. I ended up taking it to a truck driveline machine shop. They had the biggest rattle gun ive seen and it came off in 2 seconds.

Remember that the crank bolt is reverse threaded so you have to turn it clockwise to loosen it.

dont say that

just needs 3/4" drive heavy duty stuff and a thick walled pipe

Worst case load up the engine and take it to a big rig truck shop.
