On my Doblo 1.9 JTD 2002 the crankshaft pulley bolt is left hand thread. I discovered this after standing on a 4ft scaffold pole extension, failed to budge the bolt. This would be nearly 700 lds/ft of torque. So I tried undoing clockwise. It came undone under moderate pressure. No idea if this is the case with yours but it's worth a try. I can recommend using Bilt Hamber Ferrosol release spray. It makes WD40 seem like super glue. Hope this helps.
