Use a puller rented from a Parts store like Autozone to pull the balancer. Put a big rubber band around the pulley timing vanes to use to allign/center the sensor by spinning it on the shaft before tightening down the sensor, it needs a allignment else it will rub and die.

SIXMILES::QUOTE::If you pull the starter and put a break tool (or thick screw driver) between the fly wheel gear and transmission housing to stop the engine from rotating then the damper pulley bolt can be removed. Then a puller must be used to remove the damper pulley.
Once the Damper Pulley is removed the rest of the job is easy.

Good Luck
Another and maybe a safer way here is to remove the trans inspection cover and wedge the flywheel to prevent engine rotation.
