Default Harmonic balancer bolt for procharger

I'm finally trying to install my procharger kit on my Camaro. Just started to get my hands dirty when i went to take off the harmonic balancer bolt. It's frozen stuck and wouldn't come off with a pretty powerful air gun. Not sure where to go from there. Any suggestions. How do most of you guys get that sucker loose?

Hmmm, impact zipped mine right off, no problem. If your car is still driveable, you might swing by an auto shop and have them try. Not saying your impact gun isn't quality, but usually their impacts, air hoses, and compressor (as a package) will be up to it...

I have an excellent gun. I'm thinking it's the mileage on this thing. It's old. My car's got more miles then a French ***** at this point.

I used an 18" breaker bar with a pipe on it and it still took a lot of force to get that bolt out.
