The only way it will come out with a 3/8 gun is if the last person who had it apart didn't tighten the crank pulley bolt properly.
You will need bigger tools.

I read somewhere that the torque value for some civics is 181ft-lbs. D17 says 14 ft-lbs + additional 90 degrees. This past time, I sheared the tip of one of my 3/8" socket extensions breaking the crank pulley bolt loose

3/8 won’t touch it. 1/2” minimum and 3/4” would make it easier.
Took me impact rated extensions, sockets and 6ft pipe. Also crank Tool helps imo.
