If you're pulling from the center, you're probably pulling against yourself. Did you remove only the 3 bolts that mount it to the hub.

The three bolts are what mount the pulley to the hub. Put the center bolt back in. That's what your puller will be pushing against to get the balancer off. In the pic, shoebox has a socket over the center bolt to prevent damaging the head, but I don't think you need to really worry about that if you're careful. The hub will remain on the shaft. Do you want to take the hub off also?

You should also mark the balancer and the shaft so that you can install it exactly as it is mounted now. Otherwise, if you get the orientation off it could end up out of balance.
