Did Ryan P's GT in the stand with two big bars. One wedged through the arms behind the engine (his floor jack handle) and the other on the socket in the front. Biggest challenge is how to keep from rolling the engine and stand over onto the floor. Two of us pulling at the same time, coordinated to stop as soon as the bolt started to move. Took a few different tries to get the forces right without dropping the engine on the floor.
And I've been looking for an excuse to get a big impact wrench.

Impact wrench should whiz it right off without disturbing the engine on a stand. BTDT. I use my impact wrench rarely, but when it's useful it's really useful.
