use, puller-you can do it in car.  Mine has been at-track tested!  ;>)

Just drop the rear of the engine and pull it with a 
steering wheel puller. Its worth the peace of mind.



That is the shop manual method, but I got tired of dropping engines for a
simple balancer/ seal replacement, so I looked at a steering wheel puller
and built an in place harmonic balancer remover out of a large washer, 5/8"
nut and bolt with extra washers to fit crankshaft diameter. It worked great
for years, then recently a new club member and machinist built his own
having never seen mine. I can find out if he is selling them if there is
interest. This method saves a lot of time. Great for on the road balancer
failures!
