I might as well get some use (mileage) out of my screen capture...don't you think?

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

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.

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

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.

Use a 5 lb sledge and a piece of 2X4. Just tap it evenly! Come on!

Been there, done that

I'd rather do it the 'civilized' way this time.

**Salvatore** · #20 12-22-2006, 05:53 PM

That is civilized. We used to use a 10lb hammer!

One shot and done.
