Great question. I'm not sure. It would depend on your application. I know with some circuit engines they are done every 1500 race miles. It would be worth asking ATI. I made our attachment for this application because a customer asked if we could do something, and when they showed me how it is done using the ATI tool, I knew we could do something better for them.
Yes. You can use the 10T hydraulic cylinder used in the video to install it, if it is tight. The force required to assemble and disassemble these dampers isn't really much. You could even try standing on it. I used the arbor press in the video as it is much faster and easier than using the cylinder because the forces are so low.
Not really. ATI designed a very simple damper. The inner inertia ring runs independently to everything else, and they are easily repairable with off the shelf O rings. You just need to make sure you use the correct grade of rubber in the O ring to get the correct dampening. These dampers can be a little tricky to pull apart, using ATI's disassembly tool. Our upgrade makes that last step really easy.
How often do they typically need a rebuild like this?

Can You Put Inertia weight back in without a press ?

Huh, really nothing to the Dampener is there.
