1992 500SL Removing Harmonic Balancer Please Help

Recently purchased this car and repairing/replacing alternator, tensioner, water pump, radiator, etc. I will get some pics up on the forum, but its gotta run first

Trying to get the water pump off the car and after searching this forum I see the harmonic balancer must come off before you can get to the bottom water pump bolt.

I have soaked it with PB Blaster for a couple of days. Today I went to gently pry it off and its budging for sure but won't break loose. So question is: do I need to rent a three-pronged puller??

*********I should have noted earlier but I just removed the 6 smaller surrounding bolts, NOT the larger center bolt.


Please help, getting frustrated and need ideas. Thanks in advance.

Grant
