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. What did you Procharger guys do to get that thing loose?

it's not frozen, just torqued to 250ftlbs. I use a big impact gun to get mine off.

I've got a breaker bar and nice idea with the floor jack handle. But how did you keep the balancer from spinning? My dad said he can get some strap thing from his work that will do it but I'd like to knock this out tonight.

With My 6 speed trany, I will put the car in 4th and pull the hand brake. On a auto I think you have to lock the fly wheel. Also if your dad is helping have him hold the socket area of the wrench so it doesn't slip and strip the bolt head, while you pulling the hell out of it.

My air gun finally got it, I let it soak in WD40 over night and it popped right off this morning.
