Default Balancer Removal Tip

I asked a question similar to this one before, though this time, the circumstance is different.

I am looking to remove the harmonic balancer off of the block.

This time, however, there is a twist. This is on a freestanding engine on a pallet. I'm trying to figure out how to immobilize the engine so I can actually get some torque on the bolt itself. Someone pointed out to me that I could try and have someone hold the flywheel in place and get some leverage on the main bolt.

I don't have an impact at my disposal, nor do I have the SST that is specifically designed for the job. I just need that one bolt off. Getting the balancer itself off is the easy part, I have the tool for that.

Suggestions?
