I seem to recall using an M16 x 50mm fine thread bolt - https://www.spaldingfasteners.co.uk/m16-metric-fine-8-8-grade-high-tensile-zinc-hex-head-fully-threaded-set-screws/ and an impact wrench, just seemed to fall off my 77 550K3 as soon as I pressed the trigger. This would work I imagine even with the crank out of the engine.

It's off. Definitely didn't fall off at all. It took a big hammer and what some would call violence and everything on my work desk rattling off and falling to the floor.

But… it's off. I think that was the last thing that could be stuck on this damn thing (knock on wood).

Congratulations Alex. Don’t be downhearted, regroup and crack on. You’ll feel a lot better once to start to rebuild.
