Ok guys so I messed up pretty bad.

I'm gonna need your help because I just created the perfect storm.

22re

1st mistake pulled out the motor without loosining the crank shaft pully bolt.

The critical mistake was that I wedged some wood in the crank and took a half inch breaker bar the the pully bold and that fatal sound of feeling the bolt break loose with a crunch noise. I stripped the damn bolt.

What do I do?

You start with providing a better description, include pictures probably.

Did you ruin the head by using the wrong socket?

Did you snap the bolt off?

Did you strip the threads by turning it the wrong direction?

Based on your description as I read it, it could have been any of these.

You could try driving a smaller socket onto it, this reforms the head but.. I'm trying to remember the grade on this it's a two or three strike, which without looking is a g9(?)..

The good news is the cooling system isn't in your way at this point.

If you can't get a smaller socket on it, use an impact rated socket. You have two or three options. The first is to weld the socket onto the flange, a bonus here is the welding heat is likely to break it loose but you destroyed the balancer and an impact socket.
Your next option is to knock the head off with a 2" disk or die grinder and a cold chisel then deal with the bolt shaft after you pull the balancer off.

Your final option is to take it in to the machinist and have them extract it, expect this to be expensive almost to the point pulling another engine at the salvage yard becomes a possible option.

Bummer literally everyone I have talked to said do the starter trick while it's still in the truck, but did I listen noo I just was to excited to be pulling that damn motor I forgot.

Sad thing is the only reason I was tearing down that motor was for the crank and pistons.

So what you think trying to hammer on an 18 will work?

You think a flux core welder will do the trick for number 2 if that doesn't work?

Just weld a fat nut to the nut. Impact wrench.
Stop engine from turning by doing something. Not sure I can recommend wood sticks or socks in the combustion chamber, but hey - there is probably a really pro way to stop an engine from turning.
And its a bolt iirc. You could really jut cut off the head?

Glad you got it out.
A few years ago I sold all inch and 12-point sockets out of a set I've had for awhile and made half what I paid for the set in the late 80's

I am glad you got the bolt out!

If I ever need to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt, I will buy one of these:

What you needed to hold the flywheel is called a Flywheel Lock. They come in many different styles. You can probably rent them from your local parts house.

Used this little trick to get my flywheel bolts out and the crank pulley bolts out. Extra lift chain from my cherry picker.

if that ever happens again an easy fix is to cut the spring washer with a Dremel tool, that type of washer is what holds it so tight. With the washer cut like in this pic it will usually come out by finger twisting
