1.5Civic crank pulley bolt still stuck

SECOND TIME POSTING!!
I have damn near the whole motor pulled apart to replace the head gasket on my 1.5 civic. Been trying to remove this bolt for weeks. Broke the harmonic balance when I was using the balancer tool that holds it in place. Then I welded a mount to it so the motor wasn’t moving when I was trying to remove the bolt. I’ve used a 90psi 3/4” air impact with a giant 5’ air tank. Tried a 3/4” impact with the lisle socket. I’ve used a 2’ 3/4” breaker bar with cheater bar on it, tried soaking it in wd40, put tons of heat on it. Tried a 2500 PSI 1” impact with weighted socket. Hasn’t moved at all. Any more ideas?
