You can use a breaker bar with the correct extension and socket 1/2 in drive ratchet slide it thru in a short piece of pipe-extend it then brace it properly on the ground or within the engine/suspension component. And crank the engine over using the key-this will break the center bolt loose.

Before you crank-disable the ignition coil so that it won't start.
