Breaker bar/socket on the center damper bolt head. The bolt backed out when I tried to spin it CCW with the breaker alone, so I used a piece of oak trim through the balancer pulley to assist the breaker bar to help it along. Still easier than pulling the other 7 plugs.

FYI, I'm now seeing that my issue is probably carb-related and not mechanical/electrical/timing at all. I'll follow up with details when I can be sure of what I'm seeing.
