Re: Harmonic Balancer removal tool

In some cases, harmonic balancers can be pryed off of the crank using two tire irons. I've done and seen it done. HOWEVER this only works when the balancers are not a real tite fit on the crank. Also one must be very careful about what opart of the engine is pryed against and a wooden block placed under the pry bar to keep it from damaging the fron cover.

I do NOT recommend the prybar method. But it does work when used JUDICOUSLY in SOME (meaning NOT all) cases.
