I should point out, my stock '92 LT1 damper came off without raising the engine. After I put on an LT4 damper, I have to raise the engine to get it out -- the LT4 damper is slightly thicker.

Tom I can turn the damper by force but it will not come out from the Hub. I removed the three screws and using a long metal rod was able to tap the rod and rotate the damoer slightly. However, I can not get it off....

I guess it is a tight fit afterall.

Try this one.

And this is the installer to press it back on.
