First, to remove the retaining bolt, it you can't do it with the crank, just make a tool like the original by taking a suitable size 3/4 drive socket and grinding two grooves to engage the pins - I doubt you'll find the original tool but this is all that it was. After the retaining screw is out, you'll need something equivalent to Packard's Special Tool (S.T.) #5002. In principle it's not different than modern tools for this purpose, I'll attach a photo later this evening.

Fortunately the usually come off quite easily. For reinstallation you might consider packing a bit of dry ice on the crankshaft snout for a short time, the damper may well then just slide back on without any significant force.
