Default 83 Civic Timing Belt Replacement

The timing belt on my '83 Civic 1500 just broke. I've never replaced a
timing belt and am looking for some advice. Any answers to the following
questions will be very appreciated.

* What's the best way to remove the crankshaft pulley bolt? My father
mentioned a way to wedge a braker bar against the frame or ground and then
use the power of the starter to get the bolt loose. Because the pulley and
bolt move counter-clockwise, I can't figure it out. If I simply stick the
braker bar on the bolt head and turn the key, the bolt will be tightened.
Anybody know the trick?

* I hear the crankshaft pulley is really hard to pull even when the bolt is
removed. What's the best way to remove the crankshaft pulley?

* What other parts should I replace when doing this job?
