6 allen bolts, and one very hard, and very large bolt in the center, removes the pulley and balancer. The balancer is keyed with two steel pins, almost, but not quite 180 degrees opposite of each other. You need a gorilla sized torque wrench (and a gorilla) to get the big bolt to spec.
I hope for your sake, that this is just an anomoly, and not the beginning of a pattern.
