3800 Harmonic Balancer/crank pulley removal - how?


Recommended Posts

I do not have the special tool, a harmonic balancer puller doesnt work cuz theres no place to thread bolts (there are holes, but no threads), and its too damn big for a jaw-type puller. How the fuck do you get this thing off?

You really need the special puller to get it off... Sometimes you can get them off with a big slide hammer and a claw attatchment hammering around the outside of it.. You can damage it like that too, so be careful

:bash: where can you buy or rent special tools from? I tried looking online n couldnt find anything. Can I goto the dealer?

Autozone rents out tools... might see if they have one.

You need a puller and 3 long 1/4" bolts...Inside those holes are the threads for 1/4" bolts...

 

Hang on Rob, I'll get pics as I have a 3800 HB off.

They dont have one for his app.. Sometimes you can get the chrysler remover to work if you grind on it...

The puller was $16 at AZ and the bolts were .35 each at Lowes...

Of course you want to get washers too but this is how it's done with 1/4" bolts...I don't remember the thread count though. :bash:

 

Unless L67 is different.

ZZPerformance sells a 3800 crank pulley puller kit.... i think its like $26

Thats the puller I have. The bolts i have are 5/16, I prolly just needed the 1/4

 

Jay thanks for the pics, the L67s' is exactly like that but where the front of yours curves inwards, mine curves out.

 

I'll pick up those bolts tomorrow, if not I can just buy the zzp bolts mentioned above
