Default Just got 618 Hawk balancer tool

Just got my tool today I only ordered it 3 days ago, I have been dreading the instal of my balancer, I borrowed one from auto zone for my Gen 1 small block 3 years ago it was a disaster. This tool is $45 shipped I literally put my balancer on in 2 minutes. This is the best tool ever if you don't want to strip your crank threads

With it fully threaded in and the "slide" portion all the back at the hex cap how far out does it stick out? I ask because I don't have tons of room in my S10 and wouldn't want to buy it and not be able to use it....

If I recall with the pulley and tool in position and there was approx 1" of exposed thread. I think that would give you 5-6 of tool extending out of the crank.

Here are a few dimensions if it helps.
Overall length of the tool is 9.5"
Pusher section is 4.5"

Hope this helps.

I have about 8in from the front of the crank snout to the radiator...Maybe I'll be able to use it without pulling the core support off or loosening it up....The main issue would be getting it threaded in the crank... after that I should have plenty of room cause that'll eat up about 4 in of the threaded rod....
