Balancer rubber (aka isolation ring) is just a friction fit between the inner hub and outer inertia ring. I'm a cheapskate so I've pushed some back into position that had been pried on by po's and it never caused a problem in the life of the vehicles - AS LONG AS IT HASN'T SPUN AND CHANGED THE POSITION OF THE TIMING MARK. But yeah, after reading this, for $50 I guess I should have replaced them.

I've also screwed every balancer I've ever owned on with the crank bolt without issue. Amazing how luck protects the ignorant, ha ha!
