Harmonic balancer problem

Ok I knew the harmonic balancer on our 03 gp se was due for a change but I left and got about 7 miles from my house and I lost my power steering and pulled over and my pulley was sitting on the sub frame,the belt was actually still on it so I drove it home with no issues,his will I get the balancer off now since the puller usually goes on the pulley?
 


if its the outer part your fine because you use bolts that go into the balancer to get it off. its almost like a steering wheel puller where the center threaded shaft forces it off when you tighten it.
 
the hub of the damper with the puller bolt threads is separate from the outer damper ring. plenty of times ive had the two seperate at the rubber bond and spin so that the outer ring had the access slots covering the bolt threads...ive had to spin the outer ring or use a prybar to open up the slots so that you can install the 3 bolts

if the whole outer ring fell off you should have the easiest time in the world removing it since youll actually be able to see the bolt holes instead of "feeling" for them through those pesky slots
 


with metric its thread pitch which is the second set of numbers , in mm... between the thread peaks is 1.25mm on the 8mm and 1.5mm pitch on the 10mm.
