Vice grips on the flexplate, lower the cradle slightly and big ass breaker bar with a pipe and bam... Easy peazy
 
Or you can do the old starter trick where you attach the breaker bar and socket on to the HB bolt and then have the handle of the breaker bar up against he subframe then crank it and when the starter engages it should loosen the bolt

I recently pulled the balancer off mine when I swapped the engine out. It took a 1" impact gun to do it. They use a sealer similar/probably exactly the same on the threads to what they seal the snout of the supercharger.
