I would not recommend prying off the damper. You can use a regular harmonic balancer puller with the correct metric bolt sizes. You remove the large bolt and the bolts that hold on the pulley. The generic puller has a cone bolt in the center and uses bolts through the outer holes of the puller threaded into the holes from which you removed the pulley bolts.

My puller I got from the Snap On man over 30 years ago. I simply use metric bolts in the pulley bolt holes.

If you don't have the puller, I expect AutoZone will loan you one for the deposit on the tool.

Replacing the balancer, as mentioned earlier, is a critical process and the pin holes must be lined up and then the pins tapped in place. Many an MB crankshaft has been ruined by cowboys that just slap them on and draw them in place with an impact wrench. This is a method that works on most domestic balancers, but often destroys the crank on an MB.

Hope this helps,
