If you have a stock balancer, then one like what's shown under Part 4 on this page:

balancer puller
O'rileys or Kragen will rent you one for a Chrysler balancer that works great on the LS1. Looks like the one listed at Amazon.

Yep, the one listed for Chryslers works perfect. I rented the balancer kit from Advance Auto. However it didn't have the adapter to install. I had to make one using an old bolt and some mig welding.

If you use a heat gun or propane torch to apply some heat to the HUB portion of the damper it will make removal and installation much easier. Doesnt take much heat (130-150 deg)
Make sure that you use an installation tool to reinstall the new damper. I as well as others make their own.
MAKE SURE you follow the GM Service manual to the letter on installing the damper and torquing the BOLT! I upgraded to the ARP damper bolt! Much easier and its reusable.
