About all you can do is brace your ratchet and socket against the frame of the car, or even against a block of wood, and turn the key just a touch, to turn the engine over. You'll have to be careful of the engine rotation direction.
If the engine turns over while the socket is on the crankbolt, the bolt has to budge. You mean it won't turn over with the socket on it?
And, of course, make sure the ratchet is set to "loosen".
Ive tried bracing it against the frame and it wont budge. The ratchet is set the right way I think it stripped the ratchet gears out. I'm having a friend get a break over bar Monday to see if that will do the trick.
Break over bar braced against the ground did it. Break over was to long to brace against the frame.
Hey... what ever works! I usually have them jacked up and on stands, but.... good!

I've had it braced against the frame. I watch a youtube video on replacing harmonic balancer 3800 and my bolt didnt budge.
