Quick harmonic balancer question

I am changing out my harmonic balancer on my 02 X late tonight (after all the parts shops are closed). I am currently out of town and away from my truck and want to make sure I have the right socket for the big bolt before I get home and can't get one at a store and most stores are closed Easter Sunday. So what size socket do I need and does that bolt have left handed threads? I know I have the right bolt style puller with M6 bolts so I should be good. Thanks for any help, it will save me a big headache.

It turns out that it is a 27mm bolt, and luckily I had one . And it's a ***** to get out. I'm trying to do it without removing the radiator, my big impact won't fit and my stubby one isn't breaking it loose. Gonna try to find a chain wrench to hold the pulley and get on it with a breaker bar. I wish I had a manual transmission.

Some guys rest the breaker bar against the frame rail and hit the starter. I've always just pulled the radiator, I mean you have to drain the coolant anyways as the water pump must be removed to remove or install the belt.

I put my really long breaker against the driveway and hit the starter. Worked like a charm.

Mine started to go bad... drove me NUTS for a good month or two until I was able to get it replaced. Holy smokes it was terrible... since it was pretty much broke in half and it made a clicking noise when I was idling..
