I have taken everything off I got the bolt off of my crankshaft, but it seems like it's stuck. I had the 3 prong jaw clamp it didn't work. I took it back and got the balancer clamp. And now it just keeps spinning when I turn the middle giant screw in. I used my phone and saw I'm lined up to the hole on the converter. I need to get this working for my wife. She just lost her job and has a new one she starts next week. But she needs her car. Plz help!!!!
