Lol...you mean what size wrench? Not sure, but it takes all of 30 seconds to figure it out if you have a socket set; eyeball it, see if the socket fits, if not repeat one size up/down until you have the right size socket/wrench...that is my highly scientific method

Or, adjustable crescent wrench!

Just to be clear on what you need I have provided a picture of the proper tool used to pull a LTx Balancer hub off the crank






If you want I can make it bigger

These pullers usually come in a kit with an assortment of bolts.

Have you done this stuff before??

The above shbox photo shows how to remove the damper from the hub. I believe the OP wants the entire affair pulled off the crank.
