Im using a regular balancer puller to take off the hub of an Lt1. am i doing something rong? cause when i get it all together and mounted on the hub, nothing happens, it just puts huge amounts of stress on my puller. Am i doing something wrong?

 

Think about what you are doing and what you want to accomplish. Look at your puller and where it pushes on the crank and where it hooks on the pulley. The big bolt on the pullER might be just going into the hole where the crank bolt is. Mine did that and I stuck a socket in the hole for the pullER bolt to push on.

 

are youusing a claw puller? its a specific puller you need...

 

Did you remove the washer? Sometimes the washer sticks in there and you dont know it. I would look to see if was in there.

 

lol i already informed him earlier that you have to keep the bolt barely threaded in the hole and use the bolt on the shaft to pull the balancer off....he got it thanks to me haha

 

good job andy

 

yea, andy knows tooo much about this stuff. but now my next obsticle is getting the freakin timing cover back on....i guess ill have to drop nearly the entire pan...but once thats all buttoned up ill throw everything together and hopefully get andy's tired butt over to my house to tune the thing.

 

if the gasket is givin you trouble what i do is cut it where it goes under the timing cover(i could see it was goana rip so i tried toi cut it straight) and clean it then silicone it to the timing cover and work it back in there with silicone where you cut filling it in...15k later no leaks
