Put an impact socket on a big breaker bar, put it on the crank bolt, brace it on the frame, and crank the engine for a split second (pull the coil wire to avoid starting it). One thing: just make sure you brace it the right way. Hondas turn counterclockwise, so you need to keep that in mind.

yeah Kappa, that tightens the bolt on a honda. i almost broke some crap on that Lude i was doing. and yes, the threads are normal, its just hard as hell to get them loose. i know i shouldnt, but i can never get it off without a big freakin impact wrench.

****, you're right. My mistake. I forgot about the directional difference [:'(]. I know the cranking thing works on any other car, but I didn't make the connection between engine rotation and thread direction... I'm an idiot.
