    Harmonic Balancer installer

    As a matter of fact the back end is off the ground and the other 4 hubs are unlocked. High/high gear I'm guessing. Thanks much!

    Harmonic Balancer installer

    Tomorrow I should get my bolt to help me install the balancer. I want to rotate the crank 1/4 turn so the key in on top and visible. It's on the passenger side so need to turn it CW standing in front looking at it. Can I just do it slowly or something special I need to do first like pull or...

    Got it. The sieve threw me! I did when I tried today and I think that's the only reason I got a 1/4" on. The crank, the balancer the bolt the washer.

    It is grade 8. But if its too tight I'll regroup anyway. I'll reheat and attempt to install before I go with the bolt and I'll use the bolt through my remover/installer palate. What mean "slop never sieve on the crank too"?

    Harmonic Balancer installer

    I'll try the oven tomorrow. I just spent about 30 - 45 min with a 450F heat gun and a propane torch. Couldn't handle it without thick gloves. Went on about 1/8". So I spent more time polishing it and the crank.

    Harmonic Balancer installer

    I've finished my idler gear repair, have the oil pan, water pump, etc. all installed. Now on to the harmonic balancer. Issue is my puller/ installer does not have the correct adapter for the internal threads on the crank. It's a 1"-15 TPI thread and mine only goes up to about 7/8". I've been...
