Default Harmonic balancer is wobbling.

I was putting my 82 L83 away for the winter today, when I noticed my harmonic balancer is out of center and looks like the rubber is extruding out the back.
What are my options?
Do I need to replace anything other than the balancer itself?

Thanks in advance.

You should be OK just replacing the balancer, unless it's loose on the crank snout and has damaged the seal. When you install the new one, put some grease on the seal lip so it doesn't "start dry", and use the proper balancer install tool (not the balancer bolt), and use some sealer in the key groove to eliminate that as a possible leak path.
