Default Crankshaft bolt... won't come out.

Well, I'm working on my 94 Toyota truck, trying to re-time the engine. The previous owner replaced the timing chain, but didn't time it and gave up on it.... I bought it for a steal towed it to the house and now I'm working on it, but enough of that.....

I have got down to breaking the crankshaft bolt loose, but it seems to tight to get it out. I tried putting the breaker bar on the bolts and against the frame, then bumping the starter, but no go on that. The starter isn't strong enough to break it loose. Does anyone have any quick advice on how I can go about getting it loose?

Thanks so much for your help if you reply.

Obviously this reply won't help you now, but it might help someone in the future.

The way I've been able to break loose realy stuck bolts is to heat wrench it.

Basicly just take a torch, get the bolt good a hot and it will break loose. Just be sure not to heat things to much or else they start to get bent out of shape.

Hope this helps womeone in the future.
