Do you have an air impact wrench?

You can remove the pulley from the front of the balancer and stick a couple grade 8 bolts back in the bolt holes and put a pry bar in between the bolts, turn the engine by hand to wedge the bar against the frame, it will hold the engine while you loosen the bolt with a socket.

you probably have the bolt off by now but for future reference you can put a socket on the balancer bolt with breaker bar (you will need a long breaker bar, and/or one with a piece of pipe for length)place it so the bar rests on the drivers side frame rail then bump the engine over, by either jumping the siliniod or removing the coil wire, and bump with the key, all you have to do is bump it this will break the bolt loose, then you can just take it out with a ratchet
