I just used a 3 jaw puller (make absolutely sure you are pulling on the hub of the harmonic balancer, not the outside) and a strap wrench on the pulley. Get a buddy that has some horsepower and a 24mm 1/2" drive socket with a cheater. Mine came off slicker than hell that way. Use the tool specifically made for reinstalling the balancer/pulley and basically use the reverse procedure to put it on. 37 lb-ft + 140 degrees. Worked like a champ...

rent the tool for free from Autozone

 

Damn...your truck is going to be moving when you get gears & converter.

 

matt, you're just a picture ***** aren't you haha
come on over so you can hear the dune buggy run before it goes bye bye.


just wondering, which pulley are you installing? stock replacement or an underdrive pulley?

well three and a half months later the local speed shop i ordered the pullies from finally got them in. install took anout 25 minutes, easy as hell with three tools. impact, the puller as seen above, and a wide shop hammer. got it off no problem, to reinstall i used the hammer to tap the pully on enough to get a good start on the threads (about 4) then drove it in with the impact. it all lined up perfect. runs great, and now my voltmeter nods with the subs. hahaha. i need to go to the track!!
