    Harmonic balancer pulley removal woes

    Crank bolt came out easy but I'm quite frustrated by how none of the harmonic puller tools online have m12x1.25 center bolts. Anyone have some advice or a tool part # that's good for getting the harmonic balancer off?

    Also, why do you need to thread the puller into the crank? You can use a regular 3 jaw or something and grab the power steering belt pulley, or use a T shape puller and thread some M8? bolts into the holes on the pulley

    I dont think its a press fit since its keyed. Should wiggle off.

    Yes, sounds rusted on. Maybe a little wack on the face of it would break it loose. Dont hit on the edge though, you'll break the lip off.
