140 mercury harmonic balancer help

[Red90corvette]

I have 1986 sea ray with a 140 mercury. I have a extra motor. The harmonic balancer broke. Does some one know how to take it off. It does not have a center bolt on it like a car. Is it just press on?? Can I just use a puller on it or is their another way? Thanks in advance. Scott

On my 74 I used a puller. I used the type that bolt into the face of the balancer.

Some people heat them up (not too much) to install them.

Autozone (auto parts store) will usually lend you a puller that will do the job as long as you put a deposit down.
