Take the valve cover off to identify which cylinders have their valves closed.
Remove the spark plugs to allow easy rotation of the engine, and to check which pistons are up and which are down.
Select a cylinder with closed valves and the piston down. Stuff rope down the spark plug hole, filling the cylinder with it. Use hemp or similar rope. You want non-compressable stuff.
Put the breaker bar back on the nut, and apply force. The nut will come off.
Be mentally prepared to be pulling the head. When a Honda strips its belt, it invariably lunches valves. Even if it was idling.
