GM (Kentmoore Tool) Balancer installer.... I used the GM (Kentmoore) balancer installer today..One thing that got me was u need to turn it around after it bottoms out,The stepped hub that centers onto the pulley hub bottoms out with about 1/4in left to be seated,I turned it around and got it to go the other 1/4in...
The good thing is this seats the balancer completely...I still tq'd it to 240lbs but it really wasnt nessessary as it was totally seated..I then did the final 37lbs and was done..
One thing that make this particular (March Pulley) great is for guys installing it on a A4 u dont need to lock the flywheel to get the total tq of 240lbs...It has 3 bolt holes on it unlike the the ASP so all u need to do it thread 2 bolts into the holes and use a GIANT breaker bar along with the tq wrench on the balancer bolt...It was great not having to pull the starter so anyone with and A4 I HIGHLY reccomend the MARCH PULLEY....
