even i was looking for that tool and coulndt find it. you will have to buy an "intertia" socket from snapon or another similar company.
One of my friends that use to work at honda had it, but he is not there any more.

Call Cuong. his buddy still works there and he can borrow it from him.

Again, its called the inertia socket for crank pulley

I wouldn't use a 1/2" drive by 3/8" drive adapter (if that's your plan), good chance you'll break that too. The crank bolt generally requires serious torque to break loose by hand, anytime you use an adapter, torque will be reduced. Use a 1/2" drive heavy wall socket with a 1/2" breaker bar + pipe for added leverage.
