Help, can't get balancer hub off. Ok, so I sold my entire set up and I really need to get the cam out to send to this guy.
I cannot get the balancer hub off. I did exactly what they said to do in the Haynes manual and it ended up breaking 3 bolts on the puller.
What did you guys all do?

You need a smaller bolt to go in the crank hole or use the stock bolt and just loosen it a little bit then push on it. Right now you are probably pulling on the hub, assuming you are trying to get the hub and balancer off. Give me a call tomorrow after 1pm if you need any help and I can explain it better if you need.

If you want to make your life easier, buy a harmonic balancer/hub removal/installation tool. It's such a priceless shop tool. You can pick them up for around $50- $70.
As mentioned, you're likely pushing on the hub. and not the crank snout. Obviously the puller will break far before the hub.

I would also recommend that you put a washer on the bolt going into the threads to keep it straight and put a socket on the end of the bolt that the puller pushed on to keep it from going skwerrly on you.
