Default Harmonic Damper: How to Remove/Install

Well it took me awhile to fix due to lack of tools needed and the general "know-how" but here is how it was done for anyone else who may come across this problem.
First you start with the parts you will need, pick up a pully puller (harmonic damper puller) along with a socket set. Start with taking off the belt, there is a tensioner that you can fit the un-equipped socket wrench into the square hole to bend the tensioner, you may need a second person to take the belt off while you do this because it will go back into place if pressure is released. After this is done take off the crank pully and then the main bolt in the middle of the harmonic damper, after this use the damper puller to take off the used damper. For installing the new damper there is a couple ways you can go about it but the one I chose was this, take the bolt that was in the middle of the damper and find another bolt same size and thread, just longer, and use it to anchor the new damper on, once you get it far enough to switch bolts back to the actual size bolt do so and finish tightening. Put it all back together and your done. The whole process should take about 2-4 hours if done correctly and all parts are accounted for.
