Crank Pulley Removal Kit
Crank Pulley Removal Kit Hi,
Does anyone make a kit that has all the tools to remove and install a crank pulley for my LQ4? I have tried for days and can't get this thing off.
Since the motor is in the car it is very difficult to get all of the jaws on at the same time with only two hands. Anytime I try to pull one jaw falls off.
I saw this really cool one online where the pulling head was a solid piece of metal with fixed jaws so it would be a 2 minute job! They have a model that fits GM but its 260+ dollars online. Are there any other options here? . GGT-180

I rented one from autozone that was described as a "Mitzubishi balancer puller" Very compact 3-jaw and easily removed the balancer while in the car with radiator/fans in place. I placed a socket under the puller bolt to protect the crank snout.
Was $82 to rent...full refund upon return. Sorry, I can't remember the part number.
As for install, I went to a fastener shop and bought a grade 8 bolt about 2" longer than the stock balancer bolt...using a stack of washers to get the right length and plenty of lube it pulled the balancer back on for about $3.
