a 24" breaker bar is all it took to get my pulley off.
It's more fun to use your noggin and come up with ingenious ideas and some elbow grease to remove it.

yup they actually had to heat up the bolt and then spray water on it so the metal would shrink finally it came off....he said he's only done this twice in the 15 years he's worked on Hondas

using foresight i'd just pay somebody else to do the crank removal/installation. i had to buy the crank holder ($70 shipped), another 1/2" drive breaker bar, two 4' long pipes ($20), torch ($25), another 17mm socket @ $7 (as i broke the first one trying to remove the pulley bolt), and that's all i can think of off the top of my head.
mine was 2002 and it was a serious beach to get off. doing it yourself, you also take responsibility and all liability if you damage any of the fenders or any other parts. driving the car to a shop; money-wise it's cheaper, time-wise it's way less time, it's a hell of a lot less effort, and the shop doing the work has liability on damaging the car if a breaker slips when the torque is broken.
i'd vote to take it to a shop. sure you don't get the battle scars, braggin rights, and fulfillment of doing it yourself but damn, it's a hell of a lot smarter.
