Believe it or not, I have used the following method with great success for removing the crankshaft bolt: Use your longest breaker bar on the 27mm deep socket and place it on the nut with the bar pointing to the right (when looking at the front of the car) just below the trans cooler line. Without glowing, crank the starter for just a second. The end of the breaker bar will hit the floor and loosen the bolt with ease. I have also tried a bar (a long 1/2" extension works great) in one of the balancing holes in the crankshaft hub with great success. This works for tightening if the end of the extension is supported on a concrete block or jackstand.
