Like jovian said, the bolt is torqued at the factory at 120 ft/Lbs. Add to that almost 20 years of rust, and it's gonna be an uber b!tch to take off. Put a generous amount of PB Blaster on it, and keep spraying it every few minutes for a couple of hours, and then attack it with the impact. It will get out eventually.
As some extra bad news, if the bolt is stuck that hard, chances are the pulley will be too, and you probably won't be able to get it off without a puller.
If that's the case, I had great results with with a cheap, HF puller set, SKU 37824, so you don't need to go spend a ton of money on one.
yeah your right, it was hard enough to get the H-balancer off with the puller, now i have to get that 21mm bolt out to get the plate that's blocking my entry to the t-belt. (not sure what it's called, the one behind the H-balancer XD)
luckily i picked up a cheap...ish one at princess auto so i won't need to worry about that.

yeah, for some reason my thought process didn't go that far as to use the LCA, on the other hand i did use a piece of 2x4 and not just against the snow, i just forgot to say it.
but i guess that 2x4 was on top of snow so.....
but either way it seems useless as my battery is dead and might need replacing, so it was basically running off my booster and on top of that i got and used an impact gun and that seems to have done nothing.
so i'm just gonna jizz pb buster all over its face and hope it'll jerk off with the impact gun after that
