What is the best way to get this pully off?   There is a hex head on the end of the shaft and one right outside of the rusty balancer. It wants to strip instead of turning and my impact is not strong enough to get the outside one. Any help would be great - I did search of crank pully and other related stuff.

I believe that it is a reverse thread. Righty-loosey, Lefty-tighty. 
You can take a sawzall to the shaft so that you can remove the pulley and put a socket on the end of the nub.

Thank you for the advise. Sounds like a good idea to cut the shaft.
I thought about trying reverse, but didn't

I've had good luck just using an impact on the outermost hex portion of the pully assembly and if needed adding a little heat to loosen the loctite holding it to the crank pulley. This eliminates having to sawzall through that center shaft.

Don't be afraid to cut it though, its not like you need the pully. Pray you don't have to do what I did...I had to cut the pully down to the hex and still couldn't get it to budge...and that was using a 3 ft bar on top of a breaker bar. I wound up using a cut-off tool and cutting the bolt into 6 pieces (pie or pizza style) and that loosened the bolt enough to get it out.

I got away with a 3ft bar on top of the breaker bar. Hmm looks like my muscles won

What are you trying to say? hehe. Anyways, I tried, my cousin tried (about 260) and my friend [censored] aka big ryan aka ryan tried and hes a good 380. And it wouldn't budge. So, the cut off tool became my new friend....
