Stuck harmonic balancer

Anyone have any tips on what my next move should be? The dang harmonic balancer separated when I tried to remove the nut. This nut is STUCK in there. I ordered a Milwaukee 1400 ft/lbs impact but I don’t even know if that will get it off. Any tips?

stick shift or automatic?
A 1/2 inch pneumatic impact usually works for me, about 600 ft/lbs.
if it's a stick shift put it in 4wd, back up to a tree or a wall, put it in reverse and give 'er hell.
unfortunately you have nothing to hook a puller to anymore either.

it’s an automatic. Do you think I’ll have a hard time removing it once the bolts out?

probably, only one way to find out for sure, you're committed now.
Worst case you might have to start cutting on what is left, try to leave yourself something to hook a puller on and don't use a torch.
