    You are using a torque wrench to remove the bolt? Not good. Use a breaker bar of some sort.
    Also, improved punctuation and capitalization would help a lot for us to understand what you are trying to say. Hard to make sense out of.

    If the crank pulley is rotating, then you need to either put it in Park (if you have an auto) or in gear (if you have a standard).

    sorry typing with my pinkys makes things rather difficult (dirty hands). Torque wrench was used because its what was available theory being that if its torqued to 220lbs 250 in reverse should be ok...in theory. Truck IS in park. Watched a video where a home made tool with two pins and a hole in the center was used to bust it loose hence why I said no home made tool. And lastly as stated impact wrench at 120psi cant budge it so that's where i am with that. Thinking either more psi somehow, 120 is this compressors max, or some form of gorilla tactics.
