Default Using a balancer puller....

Im using a regular balancer puller to take off the hub of an Lt1. am i doing something rong? cause when i get it all together and mounted on the hub, nothing happens, it just puts huge amounts of stress on my puller. Am i doing something wrong?

Think about what you are doing and what you want to accomplish. Look at your puller and where it pushes on the crank and where it hooks on the pulley. The big bolt on the pullER might be just going into the hole where the crank bolt is. Mine did that and I stuck a socket in the hole for the pullER bolt to push on.

Did you remove the washer? Sometimes the washer sticks in there and you dont know it. I would look to see if was in there.

if the gasket is givin you trouble what i do is cut it where it goes under the timing cover(i could see it was goana rip so i tried toi cut it straight) and clean it then silicone it to the timing cover and work it back in there with silicone where you cut filling it in...15k later no leaks
