I know you already have it installed but a harmonic balancer puller/installer from Pro-Form is one of my favorite tools. I don't use it often but it does work great.

Go to your nut& bolt store and buy a longer bolt the same size as your balancer bolt buy a nut and flat washer for same. Screw in longer bolt and use nut with flat washer to push balancer on. Worked for me>
I'll definitely be going the longer bolt route next time.
The way I did it last time was to hammer (with wood) the balancer to the point where the threads somewhat engaged, then just keep torquing it in. It was a major PITA to hammer it that far on since I had no room.
As far as keeping the engine from turning, I just wedged a plastic-covered handle from a pair of pliers on the torque converter ring gear. I've always done it that way.
I do use anti seize in the balancer hub, and some on the area where the washer presses.

I don't like  it on , it was how I used to do it , also using the bolt to pull it on and messed up the threads on a 340 crank.
I pulled the balalncer off a 440 that belonged to a friend years back and the hub was split down the keyway , didn't realize it till I went to pull off the pulley , crank bolt was off , and the pulley and balancer paint being stuck to each other with the pulley bolts removed was enough for the balancer to come off the crank .
I use the right tools now even though 100's of millions of people have done it millions of billions of times before the universe was created from the big bang ...
