ditto on above. but have you tried a breaker bar on the crank bolt itself
IIRC unless it's been replaced there is no traditional bolt holding the vibration damper, it's a threaded post with a cross-pin for the crank. Without a special tool the only way to engage it is with the crank which has a very short throw, not much leverage. It can be a bugger to remove but I suppose you could remove it and replace it with a common bolt. Alternatively you could make the type of tool used to remove it, take a large socket that will fit over the OD and grind two deep notches to accommodate the pin ends.
