Put the transmission in reverse. You probably could also put wheels back on, put the car down, block them and try to crank them off.
OR.... get an impact gun.... 1000 lb-ft makes short work of those nuts (I'd do this)

just take out the starter and stick a screwdriver in there while ur getin em out, its really easy, works on the crank pulley bolt too

Wow, you werent playing when you took that motor out, you disassembled the whole bay. I cant remember if I never knew, or if it must have slipped my mind- but what you going to be doing to the motor, aka parts and such.

Also, can you provide a link to that shiny blue bar of yours?

PS- The year reads 3007 in the thread title.
