You need 2 people because you need a guy with a big a$$ prybar to keep the pulley in place while you get the nut off!!!

Use an impact gun to zip it off. Or maybe put the truck in gear, put the brake on and block the wheels then try to bust it loose with a breaker bar. It's probably torqued to a couple hundred lb/ft, not to mention the rust factor.

If you are just trying to get the crank pully off, you should not have to undo the damper bolt. Once the 6 bolts are off use a rubber mallet to tap the pully off. If you are taking the damper off as well that bolt is only torqued to 135 ft lbs. I used a pair of vise grips clamped on the damper and a wrench with a rubber mallet to knock it loose.

You should NEVER use a hammer on the actual damper (or vise grips and a pry bar). You can break or damage it. Use a balancer puller to pull it off.
You can find these for under $50 at PepBoys/AutoZone/NAPA etc., or you can rent them for about $10.00.
The pulley is a simple: remove bolts and tap it to loosen up the gunk holding it to the balancer.

I need to know how to keep the damper from turning off TDC, I can't seem to keep the flywheel from turning, and by the way it was a pain just to get the cover off the bell housing. I have 1991 v-6 Automatic Dakota.

I found the easiest way was a half inch impact, along with a prybar, breaker bar was no help

AHHH THE RETCHID PULLY BOLT U can use a strap tool to hold it depending on how rusted the dam thing is the way I got it off my 71 cutlass took a conduent pipe cut it to length so that with the ratchet in the pipe, the ratchet and pipe would reach the ground. But u also should wedge a piese of wood in front(on flat face of wrench if possible) to keep from popping off. then with wrench in place on ground Crank the engine (short small cranks) . may take 3 or 4 tries to find right wedge. finally mine came off( Key is keeping the wrench on and being able to crake engine ( do not hold pipe with any human body part this is risky as is)

Why don't you use the CORRECT tool for the job, it's called a
harmonic balancer puller. It's simple to use. You don't need to
practice voodoo or have a friend who is a gorilla with a freaking
pry bar to get it off. Some stores like Kragen rent these tools.
