Default broke a balancer tab....

you know where the puller grips the balancer. Not the who thing, just about a 1/4 of it. Just wondering if that ruins its balancing abilities or not.

Whoa, that thing must be on there tight! I doubt it will affect the balance very much considering how light that tiny piece is compared to the rest of the balancer plus it's closer to the axis of rotation so it shouldn't affect it too much.

It broke off the end of it, where there isnt any meat behind it. It didnt take too much to crack it off, just poor placement of the puller.

I would not take a chance replace it. Stock balancers are cheap and easy to come by. Or just upgrade to a better unit. Why fight with it next time you need to pull it off.
