Planning to do this install once the part is shipped and I was wondering about a place that sells the balancer removal tool for a good price. So far C.Tire leads the way with one for 19.95....

Well, I put the DMD in yesterday. Everything went in smoothly (took about an hour) and I must say, this is a great mod. It's like a different engine. It is so smooth and refined now. It even lost its jerkiness during shifts. totally worth the ~$155 CDN.
P.S. if anyone is doing this mod and they want a harmonic balancer remover, they can have mine for $10. It includes all the extra bolts I had to get as well (the install bolt, some M8s I had to get for the puller as well).
Ederfox's pictorial is great for the install procedure...
Well, it's just the O2 sensor tonight and that's it for this year.
All told I done the following this summer:
- DMD install
- new rotors and pads all around with a good bleeding ta boot
- Metal impeller waterpump install
- New O2 sensor tonight.
If you need any tips, just ask...

Chris,
If you have no need for the tool after installing your DMD, I'll take it off your hands.

I wonder how many DMD installs we can get out of this tool.  I'd be interested in a local DMD group buy. And maybe we should have a little DMD install meet too.
