Get the puller from Harbor Freight, it works fine even though it's a piece of crapola. Or you can rent one from CSK.

One of the versions from CSK includes the install tool which is nice for some flavors of balancer.

Oh and when you install the new one, take a little care to make sure you are lined up on the key. It isn't supposed to be able to install out of key, but I remember someone recently on here who got it at least started on there off the key.

Once you get the old one off, you'll see what I'm talking about. There is a groove on the inside of the balancer, and a ridge on the crank shaft.

Don't think so. I had my balancer off twice and can't remember anything even dripping out.

FWIW, No oil should be lost.
