Nut on harmonic balancer
Considering DIYing TB replacement. Watched video posted previously, wherein pulling the harmonic balancer required a heavy-duty impact wrench. I only have a basic that goes up to 90psi. Any idea how big in ft-lbs of a wrench that is? What kind/brand of impact wrench do you all use?

You need more torque to undo the bolt, but the final torquing spec is 160lb-ft [just going by memory here ,,, so please confirm].
To undo and to secure you need the pulley to be held in place. There is a special tool and there are a few home made tools posted here in CL (please search).
I just used muscle power. If you get the impact driver, make sure it will fit. Transverse engines have a tight clearance between the pulley and the side-frame.
