I have a 99 GT 5spd and I cannot remove the crank\balancer pulley. I was able to remove the center bolt with an 18" socket. Then I used the harmonic balancer remover tool to get the pulley off and all I ended up doing was stripping one of the bolts off the tool.

Any suggestions would be of great help!!

Thanks everyone.

 

Make sure you use strong enough bolts turned all the way into the balancer.The tool I used came with SAE threaded bolts,the balancer has metric threads,so you might have to buy some metric bolts.

 

Impact gun. Made my underdrive pulley set simple as cake.

 

What is an impact gun, GSXR?? Where do you get one and how much??

 

03steed are you serious? you dont know what an impact gun is?

 

Yeah, I am serious...I've probably saw one before, I imagine it is a compressor driven air gun? Sorry[sm=smiley13.gif]

 

 

before you put the balancer on, take the washer that is around the hole where the crank bolt goes. it should be black. if you don't take it out, you will get nowhere and you will also rip the living $hit out of the part that goes into that hole.(the nipple thing).

good luck

Thanks for your posts. The pulley's are installed.

Unfortunately I did not read the post before I got the crank pulley off and YES I did strip several bolts trying to pull it off before realizing that there was a washer there. For some reason it was glued to the pulley itself and it was inset enough to where we couldn't see it.

Oh well, I learned how to do it, and I'm better for doing so.

Thanks again,
