Re: Harmonic Balancer removal tool

I used an air gun and the bolt came out easily. You can not use an ordinary three-jaw puller to remove the balancer after the bolt is out. The thin piece of sheetmetal surrounding the rubber will not stand the strain. A friend welded up a puller for me out of angle iron. Look at the picture of the puller in the shop manual. The jaws reach around the sheetmetal ring so that the force is being exerted against the cast balancer itself and not the ring surrounding the rubber. Examine the hub of the balancer carefully. Several owners have reported cracks in the balancer.
I can also recommend Damper Doc in California. Far more reasonable than other rebuilders. I had mine rebuilt there several years ago.http://www.damperdoctor.com
