What I finally did after the third try to get it off was go to a local car shop and asked them knock the nut loose off the crank. He mentioned he had a 1000ft/lbs tq. wrench just for Honda's/Acura's as they are notorious for their locked crank nut.
So for $20 bucks the guy knocked it loose and tightened it back up just enough to where I would be able to get it off at home. Before then I tried everything with the exception of using a breaker bar lodged between the control arm or such and bumping the engine. Quite a few say that is the best option but it was too risky for me.
