I had to buy a compressor and impact wrench to get my bolt off. I also followed this tutorial when I changed my snapped timing belt and added a new water pump.

They may have loosened the tensioner and never retightened it hence your belt being loose. For your harmonic balancer/pulley use a 1/2" ratchet with a socket and a big hammer and knock it loose. Or maybe even an electric impact gun with a socket. I've used both methods before when one or the other would not work.
