Hey Guys

I am a newbie to the forum this is actually my first post. I have a major problem i was installing underdrive pullies and somehow i managed when i installed the new pulley i used the harmonic balancer install tool i got the adapter for the tool stuck in the crank and i cannot get it out. Can someone please help with this i hope i did not damage the crank i am such an idiot

Thanks for your help
Frank

does that adapter thread in to the crank?

yellowjacket06

yes it is

hammeron

ok, so when you turn it what happens, does
the engine turn over too?

i cant turn it as i cant get a socket around it, it is just round kinda hard to explain actually but if you look at this link toward the bottome of the page here is the exact tool i used i got the long bolt out but the adapter is stuck in the crank

so one of the adapters that i circled is
still in the crank...

hopefully someone will have a good solution
for you, i'm not sure how i would get it out
except for some sort of easy out. i'm sure
there's a simpler way

yellowjacket06

yes exactly it is one of the adapters that you have circled

Can you get some vice-grip pliers locked on it.

I was able to get it removed i was able to force a socket around it and turn it out

Thanks guys

out, yellowjacket
