Where do this tool?

My brother got lucky putting his crank pulley on, but I am going to need a crank pulley installer for my cam swap. Where does everyone else get theirs from? Because no part store around me has one for a ls1. Its a 98 camaro. Thanks

I buy tons of stuff with Summit. That's where I would go. Spend 100.00 and get free shipping. And you don't pay tax either. You'll have it within a couple days.

Are you asking about pressing the harmonic damper onto the crankshaft?

just bake it and hit it with a rubber mallet. Then use your old bolt to seat it all the way in.

NO

Use the proper tool. Chance damage on your own engine, never advise others the wrong way to do it.

There's nothing wrong with heating the hub of the pulley. I've had multiple companies TELL me to do so in order to make the install easier. You can either bake it in the over for 30 min at 225 or so or just heat the HUB with a propane torch for about 5 mins. It literally falls right onto the crank, I do agree however the you should never whack it on even with a rubber mallet. If heated correctly it just slips on and bottoms out, done it many times.

I also have an install tool if for some reason I cant use heat. Either one works fine just dont use a bolt of any kind to draw it on and dont hit it with anything

Heating the hub to make it large enough to slip on the crank exceeds the temperature rating of the front cover oil seal. It's not made to withstand that kind of heat.

Use a thrust bearing/washer and not some greasy washers. I wouldn't thread that rod all the way in, either.

Have to agree with Paul. If you can't afford the correct tool then use a stud, washers and a nut. Not a bolt. As for heating it, not only could that ruin the seal. It could ruin the balancer. They are attached with with rubber (elastomer). Heating could break the bond and the outer ring would slip.
