I cannot express how helpful this was for me. Thank you

[@jedmccullough7809]

The three jaw puller is the most frustrating tool I've ever used

[@kevinvansandt9117]

I know this is a 4 yr old video but thanks your brilliant!!

[@stacyb5250]

..

[@jobehayes8444]

Man thanks for this video I didn't realize that this balancer seems to be uncommon as far as removal videos... Did you just use the crank bolt to install ?? can't find videos on that either the game

[@chrissizemore745]

that can stretch ur bolt treads if u can find a bolt alittle long tight allway down bottom itout then it wont stretch ur threads

[@roggytractor278]

Thanks for the help excellent instruction. 👍👍

[@whowho7969]

I was in the same boat as you work perfect . Thank you 👍

[@paulsosa1872]

I'm going to have to try this my Balancer has no threaded holes

[@jedmccullough7809]

How the heck is that bottom claw staying on the second time

[@robertruiz98]

I tried doing this very thing on a 3.5 Pacifica and after 2 hours I gave up

[@dajourdixon5567]

Okay I did this way and my harmonic balancer seems to have stopped moving halfway

[@timwisdom9574]

Save yourself some heartache and get the right tool for the right job. I tried the same thing. U need at least one xtra hand to set the puller up.

[@mendoza631]

Thank you

[@FerKurl]

Brenton Mendoza no problem homie

[@shaunandeva32]

I can’t get my gear puller inside the balancer..Edit: I just had to put some effort in it lol,I really hate working on cars.

[@FerKurl]

Maybe try a different puller, use a big impact. Hate to say it but try a lil heat

[@shaunandeva32]

@@FerKurl I got the small puller to work. Just had to take one of the legs off and reinstalled it after I got the other two started inside the harmonic balancer. Thanks you

[@dajourdixon5567]

What inch puller is this?

[@jonathansmith4380]

Perfect

[@shaneisenberg9829]

so I tried getting the pulley out and the center of the puller was pushing into the crank, what would you recommend on removing the crank pulley

[@FerKurl]

Did you have a bolt threaded partially into the crank?

[@JoseTorres-ms2ui]

I am currently using the same puller and it’s just getting stuck do I have to rest every time just to get the puppy off ?

[@FerKurl]

Jose Torres what do you mean exactly by “getting stuck”

[@JoseTorres-ms2ui]

FerKurl when I turn it more than a couple of times I can’t turn anymore

[@FerKurl]

Jose Torres is the balancer bottoming out on the crank bolt? Unthread the center bolt a little more or exchange it for a longer bolt of the same thread

[@KeeganTregoweth]

How did you fit that in there cant seem to get my puller to fit in

[@FerKurl]

That puller came from harbor freight in a 5 piece set of different sizes so you use the size you need. Depending on your balancer you may need a different puller. Here’s a link to another puller I frequently use th-cam.com/video/L2--WMSrMsA/w-d-xo.html

[@KeeganTregoweth]

Thanks for the reply bro , ended up getting a puller a size smaller worked straight away :)

[@SILVERADO1500HD]

Would that tool fit on pulleys without spoke? Meaning would it fit to the outside of it

[@FerKurl]

Maybe but I wouldn’t recommend it, 3 jaw will pull most but not all harmonic balancers
