I forget what the technical name is but you bolt the tool down, begin tightening the middle bolt, and the balancer begins to slowly pull off the crank snout. <br /><br />Is your tool a remover/installer? If so, then try turning it around and using it the other way. YOu may have it backwards if it doesn't seem to be working. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>JohnB</b> <br /><small>Member # 969</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(2005,7,5,22,44,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> You DID remove the 15/16" bolt/washer that holds it on, right? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>93cobracoupestang</b> <br /><small>Member # 5765</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(2005,7,6,14,33,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> yeah i removed the 15/16" bolt and the pulley with the four hex head bolts. my problem is that i can't get it off with the pulley remover that i have. its the one that looks like a bird's foot, with three bolts one side, and one on the other. <br /><br />i think i'm using the wrong pulley remover because the bolt holes don't line up. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>SilverLX351</b> <br /><small>Member # 3207</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(2005,7,6,15,59,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Just use 2 bolts, the 2 that are directly across from each other.
