3 jaw puller will take it off. look on the inside of the hub you will see 3 flat spots. on the install you should use the balancer install tool that is sold by SDPG. a forum member makes them. they are about 60 bucks. there is a measurement that the pulley needs to be off of flush from the crank but I forget how much

I oil up the seal, clean balancer snout and put some anti seize inside, get my propane torch and slowly heat snout of balancer. Slides on like butter! Never damaged or had a leaking seal
