I am trying to break loose the nut on the harmonic balancer so I can proceed to replace the water pump & timing belt. Can;t seem to get the nut loose. Any help?

You might need to use an impact gun.

If not, remove the starter and jam the flywheel to lock the engine (this is a very crude way of doing it)

Thank you so much for the prompt reply. I don't own air tools so I think the latter will be the way It goes. Again thanks
