Thanks everyone for watching! What's your favorite method for installing a harmonic balancer?

Great video man. Well done. My son and I are putting together a small block for our C10. Much better than beating it on! This was perfect. Thanks!

Just want to say thanks for these vids. I had to pull my drivetrain out of my 72 C10 for a leaking freeze plug behind the flywheel, these vids are making it easy to put things back together correctly.

I liked the steps you took to enable easier "ease-out" -- just in case.

Knew a guy that tried to get the balancer on a sbc 283 with the balancer bolt and striped the threads he ended up haveing to pull the crankshaft and bring it in the shop to have us rethread it the cost was way more than just buying the tool. CastleVania....man that brings back memories Simon Belmont with the whip battleing monsters ah the Nintendo days,,good times!

So where in the video did you remove it ?

Excellent video. Thanks for showing the steps and the “proper” technique!

The measurement of damper -> snout is a good idea.. thanks for the info

This will be my first remove and replace on my 68 C20 truck. Started making a chirping sound. Ran the engine with no belts to find the noise and it was the HB.

Thanks for your time spent showing us how to, 🙂

Great tool!

Very informative on using the proper tools the correct way. I have a harmonic balancer to remove and reinstall soon and your videos are great. Thank you!

The correct tool for the job. Worth $20.

great amigo, thanks for the instructions

Sometimes they go in so far, (the bolt) you can get a wrench around it so go to the hardware store get some big washers it helps, good video Im doing my Pontiac this helps

Guess he forgot the removal part.

Thanks Dude, you just saved me a load if trouble.

Always have. For my next build I will buy the tool. Thank you.

Man! I love that Castlevania shirt!

Thanks for the video. I had no idea there was a tool for that

THANKS, I already put my Summit Racing damper on my 350 1980 corvette build but I am going back to the parts store to rent the installer again. I need to pull it out and make those marks to be sure its bottomed out. It has kept me up at nite...LOL good video! Wiill like and subscribe! I also like that you are mostly GM but have Ford vids too, I too am a mustang/chevy dude...It's all USA and All good!

Thank you for a very informative video. I rather not use the banging with a hammer method.

Thank you

Good job. Helpful information.

Sick shirt dude one of best games made

Just ordered the tool

Just ordered the tool much better than a bug hmmer

Never beat on with a hammer. You can easily damage the thrust bearing!

Grasias muy bueno campeon....ajala bravo me sirvio mucho .carnal

Press in is the best way I assume

Damper, not dampener. Jst helping ya out brah !

Why doesn't anyone ever finish the job. I have watched a ton of clips where they all show how to get the pulley on but not finish the install with the crankshaft bolt. How to stop the engine from turning so you can tighten the bolt to its torque spec?

Thank you for your input 👍🏻

That’s the only way to do it

Thank you for providing a concise very informative and thorough explanation of the install. How much do you torque the bolt that holds the balancer to the crank?

I have a 1999 Oldsmobile Cutlass QUESTION.... Do you have to reprogram anything after replacing??? My only means of transportation so Any HELP will be much appreciated 👍🏼

Great video. Perhaps a few dumb newbie questions: 1) when you put the new balancer on, will the "0" mark on this balancer exactly "meet" the Timing tab arrow mark? 2) If is does not align up, what should I do, because if I now find true TDC, will I have to mark it on the new balancer and therefore, "ruin" that neat "degrees ruler" on the new balancer? Thanks

Press it on ALWAYS!! Rent tool at Autozone or local automotive store if you don't own one. $75 removal and install tool.

How about a link to where you got that tool for $20?

fixen to do it the firts time on 96 5.7 vortec

Is it external balance or internal balance .my 496 Chevy big block is internal balanced so it has to be 0 balance

Working on a big block I replaced my Harmonic balancer with a Summit Racing® Bracket Racer SFI, and when installing it when it seemed to be at the end, and then the tool backed it self out. Everything I have looked at, this does not happen. They Show it getting to the point were you can not turn it any further and you know your done. Any ideas, thank you for any help.

Thanks.

why can't you just use the old bolt to push it on there?

I use never seize so it doesn't become one with the crank.

Liked the video. What is the torque suppose to be on the crankshaft bolt?

I need to buy one for my 85' SS C10 small block ... Any suggestions???

A Dampener makes things Damp, A Damper Damps vibrations

Definitely pressing on with a tool the hammer and wood is caveman style and you risk damaging the crankshaft.

title says removal and installation..??

How’d you remove it ?

What about the retaining bolt and what is the torque for it.

Have you run that motor with that Pro balancer. If so did the timing marks work

Hey, had to put new seal in, should I use original balance or buy a new one ? Thanks. It’s 1969 Camaroe

Do you put a bolt in the end of the crank after you press the balancer on?

a little grease around the outside shaft of the balancer. never use a hammer

The harmonic balancer is pressed in any given order? Meaning one does not have to align any numbers?

When I installed the same harmonic balancer on my 454 the belts on the pulleys wouldn't line up. Any suggestions on what the problem may be?

Where is the Removal part ?

how to keep it from spinning if it's a automatic???????

What do I do when I can’t get the tool to thread in to the crank?

Can't get balancer all way in

Press on. Borrowed the install tool from Auto Zone.

what about removal, you only did the install...

Misleading title, where is removal?

That's not how to remove a balancer

Removal? WTF

Thank you
