yes the vibration damper pulley comes off with a few good hits with a mallet.
Do not use a harmonic balance pulley like I did. I cracked the damper hub and then had to unscrew the crankshaft nut.. what a disaster

you DON'T remove the crank shaft bolt to remove the balancer.

Agreed I wasted a whole day. That bolt doesn't hold the balancer on. Just the small bolts that surround it!!!

i am so glad i read this - I was starting to think the center bolt would need to come off even though nothing is mentioned about this in the TIS however the DIY does mention it. I guess i just need to whack the damper with a mallet :-)
