If you are just changing the oil seals and no other moving components then there is nothing to re-balance
Just take it apart carefully, replace the ring seals and re assemble - easy to do.
I have rebuilt loads with simple tools and all worked fine for many miles afterwards with no more leaks, only awkward part is holding the turbine wheel in order to undo the compressor wheel nut as it has an unusual end on it
