Stuck Harmonic Balancer on the 196 OHV Engine

[GARDNER Keith <kgardner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Would anyone be able to comment ?This is a '62 classic cast iron six needing
a timing cover oil seal. I'm trying to take the harmonic balancer off. I've
removed the bolt on end of the shaft. I thought the balancer could then be
pulled off using a puller tool. I used two bolts thru the puller going
through the unused holes in the face of the balancer  connected to nuts
behind (The holes are threaded but I don't know what the thread is, 3/8
dosen't quite thread in and ). I used a large washer to cover the shaft hole
and have turned the puller center screw in until it starting to bend and
twist. I tried some heat and some penetrant and it won't budge. Would anyone
be able to comment ?
