You will need a puller. You can get one at a parts store.

9. Install the J 38197-A.

Important: Do not separate the crankshaft pulley from the crankshaft balancer. Service the crankshaft pulley and the crankshaft balancer as an assembly.

10. Remove the crankshaft balancer.
11. Remove the J 38197-A.

My main question is, do you have to drop the sub frame to remove pulley?

Hello again.

You do not have to drop the subframe.

You access it through the right front tire wheel well.
