This isn't going to help you, but I resorted to this trick when faced 
with a crank pulley nut on my Acura that I could just not budge (impact 
wrenches, cheaters, heat, you name it)...

Remove the ignition wire from the coil.  Put a wrench on the nut, and 
brace the handle against the floor so that it can't turn.   Get in the 
drivers seat and turn the key.   The starter was more than enough to 
spin the nut loose, it did it so easily I almost didn't think it worked.
