Safest way to install harmonic balancer? What's the safest way to reinstall a harmonic balancer to an LS1?
Without damaging crankshaft end or chipping anything?
Are they always hard to get on?

Beat It With A Hammer ,, Lol Just Kidding, I Just Had To Tap Mine On Alittle Then I Used The Old Bolt To Tighten It Down , Then Took Out The Old Bolt And Installed The New One And Torqued It Down To 220lb..

You might need to tap it on with a hammer to get it started. Don't use the crank bolt to draw it on because it's too short and might strip the threads out of the crank. Get a longer bolt that's the same size or buy one of 2xls1's install tools for $25.
Also, when you put the new bolt in, the spec is 37ft/lbs + 140 degrees. It's a torque to yield bolt unless you buy an ARP bolt which may have a torque spec, but I don't know it off hand.

2xLS1 thanks for the offer on your install tool, it would of came in handy today.
But me being in Australia would take 2 weeks to get it here, I got the pulley on after about 1/2 hours worth of rubber mallet tapping.
If your tool your selling does the trick like everyone says, then heck you gotta be crazy not to own 1 as the mallet method is a ball breaker.
