Stick a big screwdriver on the back of the flywheel.

Re: Best Way To Remove Balancer Without Impact Gun When You Have This Style

The easiest way I have EVER done it was, take the bolt out, take a propane torch and heat the part that is on the crank. Turn it around a couple times while heating it, then take a deadblow hammer and hit it from the backside with the motor upside down, then turn it(REPEAT). Took about 3-4 minutes tops!
