Just don't use the torque wrench to break it loose

UPDATE: The key to success is to use a 3/4 in breaker bar and socket with a cheater bar attachment. I used the head of a hammer to lock the crank using the flywheel holes. Disclaimer to using the hammer, please make sure to put a folded rag around the back of the hammer to prevent the end of it piercing the oil pan.
that bolt is a PIA
Glad it worked.
FWIW might want to Zip-tie the timing chain sprocket to the timing chain in a couple three places so it doesn get knocked out of position.
How do the timing chain slippers look, all intact?
What's your plan for the rest of it (HG, etc)?

my guy went to WAR! Glad you got it out with minimal effort
I would warn against this technique (though it is effective). I did this on my old Supra and cracked the flexplate. There's things on both ends that don't like to move.
