All you really need is a torque wrench to install the balancer, you can rent those for free at autozone or OReileys. Now if your trying to pull the harmonic balancer that is when you need the tool, which I also believe you can rent for free at autozone.
My local Fastenal had a long threaded rod in stock. M18 x 1.25 IIRC, but you should search to double check me on that. It was like 3ft long for $15. Bought a handful of washers and a few nuts while I was there, paid less than $25 in the end.
edit - M16 x 2.0

M16X2.0 is the correct thread pitch/size. I don't now the exact length that you need.
You could heat the center of the pulley up or throw the whole thing in an oven, it makes it much easier to install when you don't have the correct tool. The correct tool for the job makes life much easier.

I should've been more clear and said to do it off the car, hence the oven recommendation. Either way, I prefer the tool way and that's the reason I have one. I can see too much heat messing up the seal.

Block of wood and a big hammer work just as well and way easier. I have the tool but prefer the block of wood and a hammer. When it bottoms then use the old bolt and torque it to 240 remove the old bolt and install the new bolt torque to 37lbs and then go 140degrees and you are good to go. Been doing it this way since LS' first hit the streets and never had a problem one.
