Exclamation Houston people, harmonic balancer tool?

Anyone have one I can barrow for a minute. I'm putting my sister's ta back together and rented the universal kit from o'reilly's and they don't work.

Thanks, Josh

I used a torch.

First I greased the inside of the hub that slides over the snout with ARP moly lube and then heated it up with a propane torch for a good 3-4 minutes. It slid right on.

After that, you torque the old bolt on to like 240ft-lbs, take it back out, and then install the new bolt.

Thanks guys.

I ended up using the oven at 250 degrees for 40 minutes, then put it on. I had to slightly bump it on with a rubber mallot, enough for the bolt to catch thread. Once it did, i was able to put it on with an impact. Slid up to the motor with ease, I'm guessing because of it being heated up.

Thanks again!

Josh
