Harmonic Balancer Bolt Removal problem I went to back out the harmonic balancer bolt and I couldnt see the head of a bolt in there. I grabbed a flash light and looked in the hole, NO BOLT 
! How in the **** can my underdrive pulley stay on with out a bolt? I havent messed with the balancer bolt since we did the cam swap 2 years ago almost. So I guess I am in need of finding a old balancer bolt, to stick in there in order to pull the underive pulley off.

The pulley is held by a very tight press fit, so I can believe it.
You can get by without an old bolt to pull out the balancer- you can use about anything that fits in the hole, but doesn't completely go into the crank snout. This will make sense when you look at it, you just need something for the puller to push on.

I believe it too. As far as what to use to get the pulley off you can try different size/length deep sockets to push against the crank while using the puller...that's how I got mine off.
