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!
