If you have access to a impact gun that might work.
If you dont, I'd suggest getting the right tool for the job. I can't remember the name of the tool that get's that bolt off, but if you goto a automotive store, tell them your situation and they will hook you up.

I would take it to a shop with an impact and have them zip it off or.....get a breaker bar and put a pipe on the end of it and have a friend hold down the brakes or wedge something in the teeth of the flywheel.

The crank pulley bolt calls for 150+ lbs of torque (might be even tighter after years/thousands of miles). Here's what I do I on the Supra:
-- Since the engine rotates clockwise (on the Supra; check honda's rotation 1st), I put the breaker bar with extension (aka good strong pipe) on the crank bolt to the right ( illustration: *\ ) with the bar resting FIRMLY on the ground (preferably cement/concrete NOT muddy dirt). You do not want your breaker bar moving AT ALL. -- Clear the area of civilians. -- Make sure car is in neutral and click the starter over for a split second. This should break the bolt loose. If not, repeat procedure. Warning: if your starter or battery is weak, this won't work. I'd resort to a breaker bar with l o n g pipe and a screwdriver handle wedged in the flywheel... You might also need a friend if you weigh less than 150lbs... Todd 91 Civic SI 89 Supra Turbo

Unfortunately dude..that is half the issue...D-series motors rotate counter-clockwise...the bolts only get tighter as we drive the car
 - I think that is why they are so difficult to get apart

Have you tried harsh language?
 -- wedge a screwdriver handle in the flywheel -- Round up 4 or 5 friends (feed them beforehand) -- have them all hang (feet off ground!!) on a 8 foot long pipe w/ breaker bar If it STILL doesn't come off, take it to a garage. Todd
