Default 2001 Maxina Harmonic Balancer Bolt Removal

Did anyone replace a harmonic balancer lately?

I am having a hard time removing the bolt on my 2001 Maxima. I have tried just about all methods/techniques showed in Youtube.com and suggested in this forum (engine cranking, impact wrench, propane torch, extension bar, etc) and I cannot free that bolt.
I tried either direction just to 'move' the bolt (assuming it's reverse-thread) but unsuccessful. It feels like the bolt is welded to the pulley.

Any idea what else I can try? Does anyone know if there is a special or commercially available tool for this job/vehicle?

Any input/suggestion would be appreciated
