Your picture from the shop manual actually shows a puller bolted to the front of the balancer/pulley (with one of the bolts shown toward the upper right.) It's a disc type puller and the bolt in the center is the pusher on the nose of the crankshaft. Your balancer needs a puller as well.

You may be able to pull yours, but a disc type puller may take up some of the room in the crossmember for the damper to come off. But you could might be able to use a beam type puller (two bolts on either side of a beam with the pusher bolt in the center) IF there's enough room to get the damper off the crank nose before it hits the crossmember.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
