Rattle gun will get the bolt off and shouldn't spin the engine over that's all I use and I never lock the crank as it's too hard.

Those cheap pullers sometimes work but these pulleys can be real stiff, don't attempt it without hi-tensile bolts and go slow. The other issue is not all balancer's have the bolt holes. You would need to see if yours does. Mine doesn't but mine is a different engine. Having said that people tried telling me mine has the holes, because apparently VR's, do but mine only has slots.

Some pictures what your dealing with may help.
Have you been undoing it in the right direction.
