Crank Reluctor Wheel Is the outer reluctor wheel (on the crankshaft) replaceable?
If two of the teeth were slightly "peened" in shipping, but the wheel appears straight, what can be done to remedy this?

It is a very simple job for any machine shop to replace one. Most reluctor wheels are not perfectly straight, but if a couple teeth are bent, just go ahead and get a new one.

How is it removed? Drilled out or pressed off?

Slowhawk.. it's a used crankshaft, which I wanted to use to make it easy to redo my bottom end without having to disassemble my stock shortblock.
I can't find anything about the procedure to replace it.. I did see there is a machine which is used by machine shops, but nothing concrete on how and if I should even bother- UPS will probably have to address this.. they are fu<kin' morons, the way they treat packages..

I had a local machine shop degree a stock crank and use that as a template to press on one on my lunati crank. Just heat the reluctor and press it into place. I then had it tack welded in two places before going back to the balancer. Cost was 50 bucks to get the reluctor put on. Process could be reversed to get it off.
