Is the crank snout chewed up any?? Any indents in the snout??

Re: What caused this?
 

No, the only issue with the crank is that the keyway is mushroomed a tiny bit at the edges. So, I plan to file that down, and reinstall the balancer.

Re: What caused this?
 

Put some loctite on the bolt threads and you should be OK.

Re: What caused this?
 

Marlin, get a threaded balancer puller tool when installing it the next time, if you don't already have one...

Good advice, I initially installed it via the center bolt. This time, I will purchase a balancer installer tool, and will use loctite on the threads. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif

Use a 5 lb sledge and a piece of 2X4. Just tap it evenly! Come on! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gifhttps://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Been there, done that https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif I'd rather do it the 'civilized' way this time. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

That is civilized. We used to use a 10lb hammer! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/haha.gif One shot and done.
