Most of the balancers come of really easy just remove the three bolts. If it doesn't come off by itself use a three arm puller and make sure you only grab the balancer and not the hub. You can also spray some penetrating lube where the hub and balancer meet

There are only three bolts that hold the balancer on. You do not need to remove the center bolt.

To remove the pulley, try this.

To remove the hub, try this. Sounds like you trying to pull the hub without putting something in the bolt hole to push against.
