i had the same prob i striped out my puller and then i went a rented one from auto zone put it on and used a impacted and it came right off do you have the little tip on the end or is it straight bolt?

[pontiac nino]

it's a claw actually and has a straight bolt you think that could be the prob?

[pontiac nino]

is it possible for the balancer to break cuz i feel it very tense like if it wants to give if i tighten it anymore, can i just bang it out w/ a hammer?

[oil pan 4]

oil up the balancer, put a puller on it and tighten it up and hit the crank ballancer with a hammer.
It should come off.

mine didnt give me any problems.. just put the pulley puller on it and it came right out

[pontiac nino]

think im gonna go rent a pulley tommorrow one that has a moving tip cause the pulley i have now is starting to strip

[pontiac nino]

For future kowledge info. id thought id let you guys know i rented a pulley w/ a rotating tip and it out immediately WTF? well like new2thegame said my original puller just got stripped out from trying to turn inside the the crank.

I strongly recommend using a pulley w/ bolts and a rotating tip instead of a pulley in the form of a claw.

THANKS MOFO'S FOR ALL THE HELP! [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]
