Where I make refrence to the fact that it is being tightened!
So I'm not a complete idiot; just a semi-one.

I like paying too much money for mazdatrix parts as much as the next guy, but why when other, cheaper things are just as effective??

I don't like having my engines on the garage florr rolling around trying to unbolt/disassemble crap. They go from the hoist to the stand. Much safer and easier
but lets not make fun ok

500lbs means business.

I had the same trouble the other day. 1/2" drive impact at 130 psi took the flywheel nut off no problem, but wouldn't budge the pulley bolt. I tipped the engine back onto the flywheel, and filled the pulley area around the head of the bolt with penetrating oil. A couple days later, it came off no problem.

If you wanna spend all this timing trying to ghetto rig something to work thats dandy. But in the meantime, I can get a front pulley bolt and flywheel nut off in 30 seconds flat.
It's worth the money. You cant put a value on having the right tool for the right job heh

I had the flywheel nut loosened for me. The front nut was taken off by shoving one of the long bolts through the exhaust port into the dead rotorhousing, so the rotor would wedge against it. The engine was sitting on a tire. I stood on my 2 foot braker bar and bounced up and down. The bouncing is what losend it. Rotor had a nice dent it in, but it was long dead.

Well sticking a bar threw the engine may work but not every one takes apart a dead engine but if you don't have an air gun just take a wrench or socket with a rachet and get a nice sized hammer and beat the crap out of the wrench or ratchet the hitting is just like an air wrench it will work it will just takes longer and also it is not a nut it is a bolt the big nut holds the fly wheel on

I usually just heat up the bolt with a torch (MPS) and then put a breaker bar on it and turn over the engine via the starter with the plugs out.
Easy as hell.

that bolt came off pretty easy for me. Get an impact wrench, or buy an iron pipe (3/4 inch diameter) and wedge it between the counterweight and the block, then get a 4 ft. long cheater bar on a torque wrench and pull. That's how I got off the flywheel nut, but I broke 3 torque wrenches that way. I actually sheared off the driver on a craftsman wrench!
