Default Cant get a f body ATI balancer off

What puller have you guys used to get the balancer off. It has the built in spacer for a f body so the crank bolt is too short or the center shaft is too big to pass through the spacer

Hard to understand exactly what you mean about the spacer and the shaft. If you mean you need to stick something in the crank bolt hole for the puller to push against, I use pins from my chrysler balancer puller or I use an extension, like a 3/8" or a 1/4" extension.

I take the shell off the hub and use a 3-jaw puller for my ATI stuff.

I have a MAC balancer puller kit. It comes with several center lead-screws of various lengths. Works great. I also have a MAC installation tool. That one did not have the correct thread adaptor for the LS crank so I had to make one out of a spare LS balancer bolt I had laying around.

I took a old balancer bolt and chucked it up in my lathe and turned the retaining flange down until it will pass through the balancer hole, I also drilled a center hole in the center of the bolt to guide the point on the puller. Works well with my 3 jaw...
