Need new harmonic balancer
My harmonic balancer has gone by, had to of been for some time. My car at high rpms (above 4k) I thought was misfiring. Thats how it felt and the car reacted. But today I way changing the sway bar end links and noticed that half the rubber piece on the harmonic balancer was hanging out. Since I never found out why it was misfiring I assuming this is what was causing the problem.
I was wondering how I'm going to get this off, I know I'm going to need some kind of special tool. Definitly a puller, but how do I loosen the nut? Also does anyone have there factory one still and not need it? I willing to pay cost of the part plus shipping.

RE: Need new harmonic balancer
I actually couldnt get the nut off of mine w/ out air tools. But then all you need is a puller and it should come right off (I just got my puller for Christmas). If its nice out I will be taking mine off on Monday. I'm not sure if If mine will fit your car and wether it matters if your car is an auto or manual (I think it does) but I will certainly give mine to you for like 5 bucks if its still good. Im not sure if you can even see the notches on it though. PM me in a couple days and I will let you know.

take off the crank pulley, then put 2 bolts, next to each other, back in the balancer,
use a prybar to stop the crank from turning when you loosen the crank bolt.
I wouldnt trust a used balancer, mine looked good, and I could raise the timing to more than 30degrees without detonation, the outer ring can slip and still look good.
