ATI Balancer

[cam8442]

Help,

The harmonic balancer will not come off the crankshaft. I stripped a new puller and it didn't move. It didn't go on super hard (4 years ago). What else can I do, any tricks?

Thanks,

Put some heat to the balancer hub is all I can suggest. I used a propane torch to heat mine up a bit. Had to do that last year on mine. Later I found out that ATI suggests you hone the balancers to fit the crank. Thats why mine was so tight to begin with.

No, just used a standard puller. But I will order one of those today.

The standard pullers have a hard time with ATI (and similar balancers). I just removed an ATI balancer the other day that would have folded over my standard puller. Good luck!

the puller that Jim is recommending will pull any balancer I have ever seen off with ease. I had a Fluid style balancer that broke a Cornwell puller with ease... The Proform one is the ticket....
