Harmonic Balancer removal/install
Balancer will arrive today...I have already pulled fan shroud, blade, clutch, water pump and crank pulley. Im picking upthe puller and the 15/16's (24mm) socket to get the crank bolt out. Can I put the car in gear to remove crank bolt w/o the crank turning?

Yeah and spray the bolt down with some lubricant in case its rusted....let it sit then hit with an impact....should do trick....and dont forget to remove washer...when using the puller...yes I have did that my first time...HAHA

I had to use a big pipe wrench on my old balancer to hold it as I undid the bolt.....make sure you take out the washer too[8D]

well ya the washers behind the bolt..so i gotta take the bolt all the way out..remove the washer...then thread the bolt enough of the way back in that it wont wiggle or anythingn mess up the threads...then used the pulled(if needed)...mine just pretty much slid off lol...

the easy way, put a socket on a breaker bar (24mm) against frame(on the loosen setting), bump the starter, bam, bolt loose.
Take 2-3 pulley bolts toattach the puller to dampner, then the long rod screw, that goes into the puller topull the balancer from crank.

Got the new Ford balancer installed...car is running great now. I think the balancer could of been on its way out over a year ago when I got thecar. I always had minimial vibration at 3000rpms+, now it doen't vibrate at all. It even came w/ a new pointer that made it way easier to read timing marks.
