Please explain David,
Why exactly is it scary David, is there a risk that I break the head of
the bolt off ?
Just a thought!
Thanks,
Robert

Trust me, it IS scary! But it works and so far, I haven't had any
problems doing it. I saw a helpful hint the other day about placing a
rubber band over the bolt head first, then putting the socket on. I am
guessing this makes a snug fit for the socket.

Sounds a little scary to me but if you do it this way, I'd certainly
disconnect the coil wire to make absolutely no way the engine would
accidently start with the breaker bar in place.

Dave has the right idea. Just do like he says and make sure the
socket is on right. Workd every time. for me.

I have a trick. I place the proper size socket on the harmonic
balancer bolt, with appropriate extensions, and a good stout breaker
bar. I turn the crank carefully until the breaker bar is resting on
the left frame rail (driver's side). Once all the tools are firmly in
place, I bump the starter. Just a bump. This breaks the bolt loose so
you can remove it easily. Be careful when doing this. Make sure the
socket is all the way on and there is no slack in the setup.

Hi David,
And, btw, do you have a good trick to remove that bolt that keeps
the harmonic balancer on the crankshaft?
I am in progress of replacing the timing chain of my engine, but
are a little afraid to start cause everyone told me that
this bolt is very hard to remove..
Especially with the engine in the car, ofcourse I don't want to
remove the engine for a relative "simple" job like replacing the
timing chain!!
