Default Harmonic Balancer Puller

Needing a harmonic balancer puller. The old 3 jaw has had it. Got a few upcoming cam installs to do and figure I might as well go ahead and get one on order.

One that I could find local would be great. Auto Zone, Advance, NAPA, etc..

Thanks

I just rent them when I need them from AutoZone. It only ends up costing the tax that gets rung up with it.

The one you listed looks like the late model Chrysler harmonic balancer puller, which will work fine on an underdrive pulley, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't be big enough for a stock (7.5") diameter pulley.

Yeah, just rent it man....the 3 jaw pullers work well on the stock crank pulleys....it is the aftermarket pulleys that sometimes get tricky...

Good luck!

The next few I will be pulling are stock pulleys. So any suggestions would be great.

I have to drive about 45 minutes to get to an Auto Zone so I would prefer to just go ahead and buy one so I will have it if I need one. Link me to a recommendation if possible guys. Thanks.

I have one that is an installer/remover that I bought. In fact I did the R&D for their LS1 shaft. It works damn well. I will post up the name of the company later. It escapes me at this time.

I've got the SnapOn GM balancer puller too and it's a LOT easier to use than the usual 3 jaw gazillion piece pullers available at regular stores. The regular pullers are longer and give you no space to even use an impact wrench on it 'cos it hits the radiator. The one I have is the same as this ... http://www.closeout.com/we-otc-6267.html ... ofcourse, I paid more 'cos I bought it from the SnapOn truck ...
