When all else fails call the cavalry. Is there an engine reconditioner near you? They have a few tricks we dont. Not happy you heated the bolt though. It may have softened it making it more likely to break

Yeah heating it was my last resort. I had no other options. Now might just take it in to someone to see if they can get it.

Do you still have the fly wheel on the motor try and lock it up and then put a socket and big breaker bar and pipe on it anticlockwise to undo it.
Just out of curiosity why do you need the harmonic balancer off are you rebuilding the engine.
