ASP Pulley Install ? HELP!!!!
 

The bolt is tq from the factor evey high around 250 lbs so it will take some ass to get it off and you need the tool to grab it be careful not to push on the threads in the end of the crank

Thanks Randy
 

Are they reversed threaded? I tried to remove it with my impact and it would not budge. I then stopped because like you said, I didnot want to Mess it up...Thanks Again..JohnB

No,they are not reverse threaded.. The best tool I found for removeing the Harmonic Balancer is the posi lock..

I have marked that pic and will get one Monday. If I can get that DANG bolt off. 6foot 4 and 205lbs and I can't budge it loose. Guess I'm a wimp....JohnB

You said it, not one of us. :jest: :devil:

The bolt has a washer made on it that has some sort of loc-tite on the side that mates against your balancer, this is part of the reason these are so hard to break loose. Some people have bumped the starter while having a socket and breaker bar on the bolt. I was afraid to hammer to much with an impact wrench for fear of rounding the head of the bolt off. I use a large strap wrench to hold my pulley with a 3/4 drive breaker bar to break it loose. Still very tough to do.

I'm pretty sure it has OVER 250lb-ft of torque on it also. :eek2:

Slip a couple foot long piece of pipe over the end of a breaker bar and it'll come off. :D

Just don't break one of the damn tabs off when you get the bolt out. I still worry about my pulley on there with one of the tabs broken, but nothing has happened yet. *knocks on wood*

Ha ha I just did mine this morning, well the bolt any ways I have to go and buy the puller as this shithole of a town has nothing. I took my propane torch and heated up the end of the bolt about 30 secs wedged a crow bar in the balancer so she wouldn't turn, then got on there with a breaker bar and a hammer and after a couple of home run hits I was done
