9-3 Turbo: Removing the harmonic balancer

How do I do it with out pulling the engine? I have an impact wrench, do I really need that special Saab pully holding wrench?

Do I need a special puller to pull it off, or can I just use a regular harmonic balancer puller? Can I heat it with a torch and get it off that way (with out damaging it)?

It has a bad oil seal behind the harmonic balancer, so I have to change it

Took me quite a while to even figure out where that massive oil leak was comming from!

If I need to, I was thinking about jacking up one side of the engine so that it would lower the other side just enough for the harmonic balancer to clear the chassis.

I can even dismantle the steering knuckle if I have to. I can pretty much do anything except actually pull the engine.

Any thoughts?
