Been there done that.  I went through multiple pullers trying to get a balancer off once.  All I can say is good
luck getting it back on.  I had to hammer the heck out of it to get one back and I worried that I damaged the main bearing.   I swore the end of my crank had to have been mushroomed somehow.
I've since installed another motor and someone else is stuck with that crank/balancer now :)
