I implemented the following techniques on my crankshaft pulley when i did it back when:
1) Standing on brakes and + in gear + cheat bar
2) using a breaker bar and using the starter to knock it loose.
3) 3/4 impact gun
4) chain wrench + towl around the pulley and using a breaker, then trying to get it loose.
#4 to be sometimes is a little scary as i don't want to damage the pulley but 1-3 did not get my bolt loose (trust me, i gave it hell).
However, for a lot of people i've seen these methods work and for others like myself... had to get the CSP holder.
