Different engines have different specs. The 5VZFE crank bolt spec is 217 ft-lbs, I'd even use locktite. Use a torque wrench, don't assume an impact wrench will be tight enough.

I think I'm hooped. I had a large breaker bar with 2 feet of pipe on the end of it. I still could not break the bolt free. I was flexing the bar and thought something was going to break or maybe it was left hand thread. Now I know that it is right hand for sure. I'll lean on it untill it comes free or something breaks.

I used a 2inch by 3 ft steel channel. Drilled 3 holes and braced it on the frame rail. First time I did it I took apart my gorilla rack for the steel supports. It all worked. I just reused my bolt. Figured that the dealership does and don't hear of too many of the crank bolts falling out. I did loctite the bolt just to make sure. I figure 217 ft lbs isn't coming off soon but who knows.

crank bolt
i just finished my oil pump on a '96...serious problems getting the crank bolt out...princess auto and got a disposable 3/4 drive ratchet...the great canadian tire and bought a $20 chain wrench (vise grips with chain) a 19mm socket and short extension and one final piece of alum. tube as a "persuader" and off it came...absolutely a right hand thread...

We have been lucky at the shop and the Ingersol Rand 2135TiMAX 1/2" drive impact usually walks them right off. If you don't have a compressor, then these home made tools are the hot ticket!

There's a "rope trick" popular with old Volvo DIY'ers. It involves feeding a length of rope down your plug hole.

I've never tried it myself--just sounds too fishy--and not sure it would work on these engines.
