hello all..

is anybody here, who can post a pic -better a technical paper of a Crankshaft damper tool...
here in Austria its difficult to get sucha thing, so i want to make it on myself..should be no problem, i just need the numbers of diameter, holes..aso..

i think , you know what i mean..... ..even with my bad english.. :rolleyes:

thanks..

 

You can make one using the following items:

To get the balancer off:

1. A flat piece of metal large enough to put three bolts through to bolt the plate to the balancer. The plate has to be threaded in the center so that a bolt can be screwed into to it to push against the crankshaft nose. The plate need to be thick enough so that the threads in the center don't strip when you pull the balancer. The balancer is on pretty tight so you need a piece of steel about 3/8" thick (3/8" is a guess, I am not a mechanical engineer).

2. Three bolts that screw into the balancer where the pulley bolts went. They need to be long enough to thread at least 3/8" into the balancer after the plate above. Washer to go under the bolts.

3. Bolt for the center. It should be larger in diameter than the harmonic balancer bolt.

4. Something to put over the crank snout that the bolt in #3 does not spin against the crank.

We call the above item a pulling tool. You should be able to get it in Austria since its a pretty common item for working on automobiles.

To put the balancer on:

1. Threaded rod that will thread into the crank where the harmonic balancer bolt goes. Its easiest to take the bolt with you to the hardware store.

2. Washers large enough to go over the balancer removal plate that you used to pull the balancer.

3. A nut to thread on to the rod. To drive the balancer on.

Some oil to lubricate the bolt when removing the balancer and lubricate the nut when installing the balancer.

I hope I didn't forget anything. Hope this helps.
