Re: Vibration Damper Removal - 1928 5-26

hi; last year i rebuilt the engine in my 526 and was surprized that the damper was not one piece, but three piece with springs and friction surfaces. you might be able to remove it in pieces. my engine was out of the car when i put it back together. would suggest just removing all 12 mounting bolts and jacking engine up if it does not come apart. i removed my engine in pieces, taking the crankcase out the bottom. putting the complete engine back in was a six man job-not fun. i also replaced the felt seal with a modern seal, however damper needs a little machine work. dell
