I think I would go back with a hacksaw and maybe a cheap floor jack. Cranks run $1500 and up these days. If you have to, pay a buddy $50 or a case of beer to help

My local junkyard rolled a ZX over onto it's side allowing me full access to the motor/transmission. Maybe they would do that for you?

For a case of beer, a plane ticket and hotel stay I'd be on my way.

Funny I went back to pull it out and as I was walking in some dude had the motor on a gantry.

 

Well isn’t that nice.

What a strange motor, a lot of work for one dude.

Not much space to pull it out from the front, removing the motor would be the easiest approach. At that point might as well keep the block too.

too many projects, going to have to throw the towel in on this one for now... got a nice rear view mirror though. 

with a demolition saw this would be fast... 

Now I get why you wanted to know how to get the crank out like that. In this case the easiest is to buy the engine, take it home and remove what you want and sell the rest.

Too bad it got away.

I saw one of these engines on a pallet for sale online recently, for a few hundred bucks. It was gone by the time I inquired about it.
