Hi and welcome, There is probably an official way but the way I do it is to wrap some aluminum sheet around the spline of the crankshaft output gear(use some of decent thickness 2mm?) and put a stilson wrench on the alloy sleeve and with the idler gear still in place you should be able to unscrew the input nut. I suppose you could use an impact wrench (rattle gun) on the input nut.

I can be contacted on martin@kmprecisionengineering.com Ouch  ... this nut isn't that tight, it can be undone by using stilsons on the primary gear (with protection) and a socket on the nut |
