Jeremy,
A good tip is to heat the balancer up in the oven. Preheat to about 200. Keep the balancer in there for about 20 minutes. Use gloves. Make sure a new seal is installed on the crank. Make sure the key is in place. If you can keep the crank cool, that helps too.
I'm sure someone can tell you how far, but I usually see where the old bearing was. OR, look at other pulleys and align the balancer up to them.
I use two head bolts to attach a chain to a leveling bar then to a hoist for engine removal.
I hope this helps a little.
