How do I remove vibration dampener?

I'm almost done taking my engine bay apart. I have the heads ready to go back on, I pulled the oil pan and liked what I saw. Very little sludge, for an engine so dirty, not any big chunks of metal. I could tell once I got the heads off that this engine has been very hot once, which the machinist says is almost definitly what called the head-gasket to fail the way it did. I'm glad I replaced the thermostat when I did, as the engine never did seeze on me, so I think I averted disaster. One cylinder could stand to be sleeved, the rest are great. I don't have an engine lift, nor the inclination to pull the block in the middle of the summer, so I'm just going to expect it to burn a some oil. The bottom end looked good, the top end is all done.

The only thing left is to pull the oil pump, water pump, oil filter assembly, so I can look at the timing chain and gears. I got all the bolts undone, but how do I remove the belt pulley / dampener? I bought the tool to pull the pulley and dampener off, but how do I get the crankshaft bolt off? Detailed instructions would be wonderful, cause all my engine building and Haynes manuals skip over this procedure. How do you stop the bolt from turning the engine? How much torque should it take to come off? Tips, or tricks to this?

I will have new pictures soon.

Thanks for the help,
Doug

 

I got it off

I got it off, finally. I forgot about putting the transfer in low range, but I put it in reverse, and had a friend step on the brakes. It took about 150 ft-lbs of torque, I thought I was going to break my wrench. My brakes are so bad, at first I was overcoming the brakes. The wrench is about 1.5 feet long, and was bending a good inch or more. I was worried that there was some secret, but I guess I just wasnt pulling hard enough.

When I got it off, everything looked good, timing belt in good shape, no teeth missing or metal fragments. Now I finally get to start putting things back together.

Thanks for the response.

 

in the future if your oil pan is off you can just put a 2x4 between the crankshaft and the block
