How do you get this off. I removed one bolt off the flywheel. I know I have to rotate the flywheel to get to the rest of the bolts but it refuses to move. How do I get it to turn? Do I have to take off all the belts to turn it?

When I took mine off, I put a socket and breaker bar on the nut on the front pulley to turn it. This pulley is called the harmonic balancer pulley and is attached to the front of the crankshaft. Make sure you only rotate the engine clockwise as viewed from the front, since the other direction can make it skip a tooth, especially on the 4 cylinder engine. No need to remove any belts to turn it.

An alternative would be to use a large screwdriver against the ring gear teeth.
