What engine are you working on?
To remove the dipstick tube use a razor to separate the gasket from the block.
When you say harmonic balancer I think you mean flywheel. You may have to work it with the puller, hammer and a little heat. The best way is to tighten the puller, rap it with a hammer and then tighten the puller a little more and repeat until she pops off. I have had some that take a hot second to come off and then other I have fought for hours.
As far as the love joy coupler, I use this bearing separator that attaches to my puller like this one for the stubborn ones.

Take your time with the dipstick tube as they are cast and will break easy.
