yes you did get lucky. you don't need a balancer installer, didn't even know they had them, just a puller, rent one from autozone you leave a deposit on it and get all the money back when you return it. word of advice take out the bolt in the center of the crank taht holds the balancer on, then take the washer off the bolt and thread it back in, makes pulling it off much easier.
