The crankshaft bolt on my 84GL (1.9 leaker) is stuck at about 1/4" of extraction. Mechanics have told me various ways to try to break it free (impact tool, jam something into the flywheel, strap wrench, etc) but thus far, I have only tried the strap wrench since it can't damage anything. Upon checking the Bentley, it appears that VW actually made tools to handle this problem and allow proper torqueing of the bolt. The items have part numbers of 3149 (three piece set) and 3102 (which is a heavy bar with prongs on it). Has anyone on the list had a problem with a stuck crankshaft bolt or how do you rebuilders torque this bolt?  Do you have one of the above mentioned tools or have you made something up yourself?  Do you just jamb something into the flywheel?  I am looking for solutions to this stuck (and I mean stuck) bolt.
