Safer to screw the bolt back in a little and let the puller hit on that . The balancer hasn't been on for that long so it should come off easy . Sometimes if you have a lot of pressure on the puller hit the balancer with a rubber hammer  and it might shock off .no heat

Romac 's can be tight. the way to get it off is take the load on the center bolt then shock it by hitting the center bolt with a big hammer, tighten the bolt and hit it again etc

remove the puller.

hold the crank bolt up to the pointy thing.

the outside of the pointy thing must be BIGGER than the outside of the crank bolt . If it is NOT, say goodbye to the threads in your crank.

this is a pointy puller . do NOT use this puller on the crank bolt if the head of the pointy thing swivels around




this is a flat end puller . you can use this on a crank bolt but the crank bolt may still screw into the crank as you turn the puller bolt

For all the time and effort of everyone involved probably would have been worth paying the $2500 at this rate.

As soon as i saw it turn i stopped

When this thread is added to the earlier one about webers that wouldn't stay in tune but turned out to be a stuffed distributor gear and cam, I reckon this engine has set a new record for the number of pages generated on this forum.

I admire your preparedness to have a go at this. Good luck!

turns out best part to use was the larger flat piece.

Balancer is 3/4 of the way off. But seems to have hit this point and is really hard to turn.

normal ?

if the crank damper bolt is out, keep turning the puller bolt.

if you left the crank bolt in, the damper has bottomed out on the washer on the damper bolt.

as soon as the puller bolt gets easy to turn, hold the puller as you turn the bolt because the damper will soon fall off.

Not normal, should get easier as more of it dis-engages from the crank.

You are also the one whom seems to be having a lot of trouble getting the Snausage out . I can assure you that I can easily get mine out any time I feel like it .   :thumb:

These are Snausage lifters . Grab the roller and make sure it rolls smoothly and that there is NO play in the roller . If there is ANY play in the roller, it is junk.
