Default crank pulley tips

Anyone have any tips on getting a stuck crank pulley off? I tried an airgun already... no dice. Any other wacky ideas? Thanks guys!

I'm serious - if you have these three things by your side, everything will come together.

It NEVER fails you. Ever.

Is the engine spinning instead of the bolt?

yep, I hosed it down with liquid wrench and banged on it with a hammer for a little bit...and then hit it up with the airgun again.

I think i might need a bigger airgun... one that goes up to 600 ft. lbs instead of this teeny tiny 400...

I said PB Blaster - don't sleep on it.

Bigass ratchet, bigass pipe, jump on that bitch.

(That's the cheap mexican coming out - if you want to take the time to go find and/or buy a bigger airgun, go ahead. You're white. That's your perogative.)
