Not Midget Related [mostly] Removing crank pulley

[RickB]

Well I'm using my Midget to go buy parts and tools, but that's about it.

2003 Kia Sedona.
The crank pulley came unlaminated where the metal part connects to the belt.
I have to replace the pulley.
I have been trying all day, at a friends house and he does not have a compressor.
I bought an electric impact wrench that is not budging it.
I have tried using a breaker bar against the frame and hitting the starter. It goes "HMPH" and stops.
Maybe the battery isn't charged enough.
I went and bought a 100 amp starter type battery charger.
It's currently charging.
I have tried heating it up with two torches.
I have tried just hitting an impact driver with an 8 pound hammer. I have sprayed with PBblaster.

Ideas please?
One issue is I can't hold the pulley in place while using a big cheater bar. An idea for that would also help.
Thanks guys.

Can you take out the starter to get to the flywheel and lock the flywheel in place, and then use the big breaker bar?

Charging the battery did the trick, pulley replaced.
Thanks guys.
