I have an update with my car here:
packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb ... 4406&post_id=243509#forumpost243509 I recommend setting a torque wrench to 150 ft-lbs and using that to turn the crank bolt. That way you won't damage it by accident. Start clockwise and tighten until the torque wrench clicks. Then use a normal ratchet or breaker bar to turn it the opposite direction until the bolt unscrews (or use the torque wrench, but some torque wrenches are damaged when unscrewing so double-check that that's okay on yours).
That's what I did on mine, it didn't budge when turning it CW but I was able to turn it CCW without much trouble. It turns 1/6 of a turn back and forth now. Remains to be seen how I'll get it to turn the remaining 5/6.
