is the motor installed in the car?
19mm impact, blast off the main crank bolt. Be careful to hold/push back on the pulley/hub assembly so that it doesnt move forward, this can cause the needle bearing in the rear of the stack to slip behind the spacer and get destroyed. not likely to happen, but if it does you are F'ed.
remove the stock brass-colored spring-loaded thermal mechanism and install the RB unit.....oem spring goes in first, then the thermal pellet. The longer thinner end points outward, towards the main crank bolt.
apply lock tite to the threads of the bolt and sealant around the backside of the base. Blast it back on with the gun on full power

You might be able to use one of the inspection holes in the bellhousing to wedge a piece of wood between the flywheel and engine block. That would make god-damn sure the rotating assembly doesn't move foward.
You'll also likely need a big impact, especially if that bolt has never been disturbed from the factory. Mine took quite a bit to break loose.
