How long did you guys have to go at it with the impact to get it off? Ive been at it off an on for like half an hour and it seems to be happy where its at.
Any ideas on how to get that bolt off before I go redneck on that thing!!!

Unless you have a really good impact, which i dont, it wont break loose. Try spraying some oil in impact air fitting and getting the compressor up to max pressure before you start.
Impacts are for sissys. I just lock the motor back at the flexplate and use a 2 foot breaker bar. When they break it makes a loud pop...I love it. It's good exercise.
My last motor the timing chain broke and junked the valves at 183k. I broke it loose by putting rod in spark plug hole and a really long breaker bar. block was already junk but i don't recommend that for good block/piston.
Gonna try locking it at the flex plate tomorrow and use the breaker and hopefully that will do the trick!
Well if you've got the money buy a snap on super duty impact or an ingersol rand impact. Or get out the eight foot breaker. Either work nicely.
Youtube starter trick works flawlessly!
While you already have the balancer off I would check the condition of it.
I am gonna try locking it at the flex plate, I have a five gallon trades pro compressor

And this set, I think its starter gear but not sure if its good enough to break the balancer bolt.

Yeah just pull the fuse for the fuel pump and run it until it dies then crank for a few seconds make sure it doesn't start then put the breaker bar on then crank it. Shouldn't take much to do it.
ive used the starter trick 2wice, both worked like a charm, i had my ignition wires off the spark plugs and fuel pump fuse pulled, and of course s/c and serpentine belt removed
