What is every body using on the LS engines? Jay

 

OTC makes a nice puller that works well on the LS balancer. I have a Snap On installer. Search ebay and you will find both.

 

i have a installer i made with some all thread, a piece of 1.25 d.o.m. and some washers welded to it .

i have the three jaw o.t.c. puller for the stock balancers

i also have an otc universal set with all the correct size bolts for the aftermarket balancers.

 

Have you ever thought about something too hard? Picked up the three jaw puller out of my tool box and just gave myself the ol facepalm. Jay

 

^^ yep i use a 3 jaw puller from oreillys part # 67021 to remove........ then heat up my pulley alittle to soften it. then use a piece of wood and hammer to somewhat get it on alittle further to i can run it on with the crankpulley bolt. Thats just temparily until i can find someone that sells a 120mm m16 bolt around here

 

I built my own, I still have a bunch of all thread left over, I can mail you a piece cut and ready to go for a few bucks. PM me if interested...

 

the factory bolts work really good for installing factory crank pulleys. sometimes need to get creative with the aftermarket stuffs.

 

It also is very efficient at pulling the first 5 threads out of the crank....

 

I went to a hardware store and got one that was just a little longer. Used it prolly 6 or 7 times without a stitch of problems.

 

ouch...glad i never found that out the hard way. i did bend a crankshaft once...that wasnt fun.
