My car sheared the crankshaft damper bolt and to fix it, I need to replace the harmonic balancer bolt. I have yet been able to bust it loose. I been using a 3/4 inch impact, but it hasn't come loose yet. Are there any other options that I can try?

The threads on the crank pulley are left handed

The crank pulley is already removed. The bolt that holds the harmonic balancer on has a stud on it that is left hand thread for the pulley nut, but the actual bolt into the harmonic balancer is right hand thread, right?
