Default Harmonic Balancer Replacement

I am replacing the Harmonic Balancer on my 67 ,289. Is the bolt that holds it on a standard thread or a lefthanded thread . I will use a puller to get it off. Any suggestion on how to loosen this bolt other than kranking on it. What would be the troque of this and the three bolts that hold the pulley on. Thanks

to loosen the balancer bolt you can always pull the coil wire take a long pull bar position it over the frame rail have a buddy bump the starter works every time no impact needed just watch your fingers
