Default Balancer hub removal?

So I need to take off the balancer hub to take the front cover off b/c it has a horrible leak and I'm replacing the opti, E-WP, and timing chain. I tried a balancer puller with my 1/2" air ratchet set on full force and the thing would not budge!!!??? I put some PB Blaster on it and am gonna let it sit for a few days, but man that thing is ON THERE. Any helpful hints?

your most likely actually pulling on the hub itself. I had this issue myself when taking the hub off. Put a 1/4" socket extension in the hole, use the puller again and you should get it off. good luck.
