take the serpentine belt off and then take the crank pulley off the balancer and then you will need a puller to get the balancer off the crank.
There is not much you can do with a bad balancer other than replace it with a new one.

You can go to a local parts place and rent a chrysler harmonic balancer puller. I just did mine on a 2001 and it costed 75.00 and when I was done they gave me my money back. It is the only way to get it off.

Counterclockwise.
Yes, the bolt that holds the harmonic balancer in place on a 2001 Chevy Malibu is reverse thread. I learned that the hard way and stripped the head of my bolt down to nothing. And the bolt is almost impossible to find, because they no longer make them.
It is in the timing cover, just behind the balancer. 1 bolt holds it in.
