Angry balancer destroyed itself

was coming home for lunch today when i noticed my truck rattling and shaking funny. pull into the drive and i hear an odd grinding noise when i cut off the engine, do some looking around and my harmonic balancer is spinning around the pulley, well crap! i knew i needed to replace it but dang didnt know that would happen.

how hard is this to replace, i know it cant be that bad. anybody know the size off hand of that giant bolt that sits in the center. i know i have to have a balance puller, hopefully i can get to it this week. thanks for the help.

its an easy job, you can probably do it easier from the bottom than the top.
