If you are using a puller, make sure you have it centered and apply even pressure by tightening each bolt a little at a time. The wedge trick will work if the balancer is not frozen by rust and corrosion. It is a very tight press fit so patience is needed!!!

While you are at it, you might just as well as change the timing chain as suggested. The amount of slop is bad. There are two bolts that attach on the underside at the oil pan in addition to the front. This is not a hard swap.
 
When changing the timing chain, as long as neither the cam nor the crank moves, you can just swap them, right? I have a 200 on a bench that I will be building. Also, his pulling advice is good advice. =D
