How to put a lt1 crank hub back on?
Get a harmonic balancer install tool. You don't want to beat your crank snout up and this will press her right on.

But if you don't want to spend the $50 on it, you can try and find a Grade 8 threaded 7/16-20 rod, a few BIG THICK washers and a Grade 8 nut, and press it on that way. I chose the hub install tool and am glad I did.
You can rent an install tool from any parts store, you get a 100% refund when you bring it back.
I borrowed it so many times, I just went ahead and bought one LOL
It's essentially a threaded rod with a nice big nut and a thrust bearing.
Don't beat it with a hammer, you'll just ruin something.

Nice pic, too.
I put one in my tool box first time my friend and I ever pulled an engine. I won't date myself with how ago that was, either
This is the easiest way to get the hub on . Used it several times. Takes maybe 5 minutes to put on the hub.

+1, that's what I did and it works great. Cheap tool that you can use over and over.

I know everyone says "don't do it".. but I've probably done it 10-15 times..
Get a longer bolt, stack washers and pull it back on. Keep removing/adding washers as needed.
Finding a grade 8 7/16-20 threaded rod in a pinch isn't easy I found.

I don't think you will have any issues using a hammer to seat the crank sprocket or crank balancer. As long as you aren't pounding the **** out of it.

The crank snout on the other hand is an extremely tight interference fit - pounding on it is not the correct way to do it. Your front main bearings will thank you for doing it correctly.
There is a tremendous difference between installing the bottom crank gear and the crank snout. The crank gear is nowhere near as tight a fit as the crank snout, as it only takes light tapping to seat the gear.

Since you've never seen or done it yourself (thankfully), it takes a TREMENDOUS amount of pressure to seat the hub using only a hammer.
i cleaned mine up real good and taped it on with a rubber mallet and then i used a longer version of the hub bolt with a washer and with alittle oil on the crank i screwed it on. just make sure everythings clean and you have afew washers so when you bottom the bolt out you can put more spacers on to get the hub on the crank flush
so if the part stores dont carry one that will work on our cars, where is the best place to get one?
