Harmonic balancer sucked a$$ to get off, i had no air tools at all. I got pised alot tearin down for the HCI swap, the fist one was the damn upper intake, I didnt know that damn 5.0 plate came off and there were bolts under there, so i was pryin on it and stuff, haha. When i did my rear springs that pissed me off too, i couldnt get the holes lined up for the life of me. Buildint was alot better than tearin it down. Went alot smoother.

Ran into a new one today, trying to pull driveshaft, went to take out the four bolts at the yoke, can't move them.
I have a lot of pull power esp when motivated and trust me, I'm motivated......they just laugh at me.....4 12 point 12mm, I put on a bigass glove and pulled so hard my box end wrench snapped, good thing I wore the glove or I would have had the knucklebuster from hell....now I'm chilling trying to come up with a new plan of attack...

Hey man,i just got mine off.this is what i did.... I stuck a prybay inbetween the u-joints and propped it against the underside of the car and used a 12 point socket on a 1/2 drive wrench and layed sidways compared to the bolt and yanked toward me untill it broke loose,then i rotated the u-joint around and did the next bolt and so on till they were all off...make sure you mark the shaft where it comes off so you can put it back on at the same spot so you dont throw the balance off....hope this helps ....
