get a socket wrenh and a socket (1 1/16"maybe) and put it on the bolt inside the crank pulley and start wrenching.

Thanx every for your help. Im in the process of tearing my engine apart to replace the timing chain. Mine skipped a couple teeth which was causing my car not to start. Looks like ive got quite alot of wrench turning to do
