Get a Romac for a good quality unit or just a Ford replacement to get running again.<br /><br />Not hard to change yourself. You'll need to pull the fan and fan shroud, crank pulley and then the balancer. You're going to need a puller/installer. Some kits do both or you may need to get them seperate. Find a buddy with one or rent it from the auto parts store. They usually rent them for no charge. Don't try to remove or install without the proper puller and/or installer. You can fug up your crank snout and then the job just got a whole lot more expensive.<br /><br />It's not hard to do at all so long as you have the right tools. And like I said you can most likely get them from the local auto parts store on loan for nothing.<br /><br />Good luck.<br />Sean <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>TRIX02GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 2844</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,5,13,14,24,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> definitely rent or borrow an puller/installer!!!<br />good luck!! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Sean90GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 33</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,5,15,9,39,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> A guy on The Corral is selling a Romac 50oz balancer.
