Message	it, I have another suggestion. The stock pulleys can be pretty brittle. Spray the bolt with pb blaster and allow it to sit and soak for a while. Afterwards hold the breaker bar up against the subframe, and have someone get in the car and just "bump" the ignition. It may take a couple bumps, but be sure that they do not hold the key, just enough to turn the crank a little. Usually will free the bolt every time.
