I reccemond using a tap and die to rethread the hole and a little antiseeze and lock tight on the bolt, torque down with a torque wrench with digital torque gauge and hold for seconds after click done people end up having hard timing after trying to remove a High torque old bolt, and a bolt hasent been removed in a long time it's always good to heat up the bolt first instead of penetrating when you lubricate it doesn't even touch the threads at all metal partial that have broken off of the threads could potentially get jammed while removing and make the process so much horrible so yeah always a impact
I would use the tool in the pinned comment ( amzn.to/3Q8xZGJ ) instead of the 3-jaw puller. I would also use PB Blaster instead of wd-40. are you using a ratchet or an impact?
@@mulletz_garage I Finally got it off. Getting it back on was a bit tuff! Lol It's on there Super Tight. Ran into one problem, the bolt broke off. So, I went ahead and put everything back together, and started it .... I monitored the pulley and no budging or wobble. I'll have to Very Soon correct the broken bolt.
Hello 👋 i have a question and the Internet is giving me mixed answers. I want to replace the front main seal on my gm b207r. I have to remove the harmonic balancer I will use a impact, my question is can i in any way effect the timing of my engine whilst removing or refitting the harmonic balancer. Thanks in advance.
It’s an LS engine? If so, no. Timing can’t be effected at all by removing and installing just balancer and front/rear covers. I’d suggest getting new covers with the seals installed already. Plus, balancer has a key way on the crank that needs to be lined up in order to be pressed on.
@@mulletz_garage Its a 2.0T, 4 cylinder petrol engine its maxed at 300bhp without changing internals. Thanks for your advice, I think the reason I got confused is because you are supposed to lock the flywheel with a tool if you use a ratchet to take of the crankshaft pully (harmonic balancer). I will be using an impact wrench so i dont need to do that step. I guess I just figured if you have to lock the flywheel if using ratchet on the crankshaft bolt then it must be because it moves the timing chain? Many thanks, I asked a few people and you are the only one who has replied. I appreciate that.
Balancer Removal Tool - amzn.to/3Q8xZGJ
Hey thanks Ima try this

Nice!
Installation vid next ?
24mm crank bolt socket 🥇 thicker wall socket
Worked perfect W video
Sometimes it just comes off with your hand
That took just bent and broke for me. Had horrible luck with it.
Let me ask.
I tried heating up my harmonica balancer, WD-40, The 3 prong tool, a hammer and still won't budge.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

@@ChrisC-fr8yu the bolt threaded into the crank broke?? Autozone should have a balancer install loaner tool
@@mulletz_garagedo you need a specific tool to install the crack shaft??
The song 😂

@@uemackay1592 reason you need to lock the flywheel is because you'll end up just spinning the crankshaft before you're able to get that bolt free
