How do you remove LT1 Balancer Hub???
How do you remove LT1 Balancer Hub??? Can somebody please help!!!!! I don't know how to remove the crank or balancer hub I've tried using the old Chevy harmonic balancer puller and had no success. I've tried other ways and gave up. Any help on how to remove the balancer hub would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, 1sicss

I've had really good luck using a "3-claw" style puller then using the crank bolt so just gradually push on and walk it out.. more or less loosen the crank bolt a 1/4" or so, then use that bolt to push w/ the puller against it. if thats not going to budge then i'd suggest a little heat, just becareful not to get the flame towards the timming cover it might melt the gasket/seals.
goold luck

If you take the bolt completely out then you will just be pushing against itself. One of my friends broke off an "ear" trying this! Be sure to leave it in there, threaded a couple times to keep it from stripping out.
i take out the 3 bolts, and use a soft hammer and hammer on the backside (closest to the engine) to get it loose, then before installing it i clean the hub and use some anti seize to help get it off the next time.

I say get an extra crank bolt that is longer and screw it a few turns and pull off with the puller that way.
