I think that someone tried to remove the bolt by blocking the pulley with something to turn the bolt, and that's how it was broken. My question is how to block the engine so that the bolt can be turned. Is there a tool or something easily accessible that can be placed in the flywheel teeth? Or...

So I know at least one method of removing the crank pully nut that doesn't work.... Any suggestions? I looked at the vin compared to the motor, they don't match. I also pulled a string across the frame. How much sag if forgivable? Passenger side - deepest point at about the gear shifter...
