I also tried to tighten them with one good pull, they were no effort removing after that.

On a side note, I took pictures of every part before I removed it. I'm the kind of guy who after working on something always has extra parts? This seems to help with that problem :-)

In case you don't know how to get that hub back on properly, get #1 to TDC, then take the hub, it has an arrow on it that needs to face 12:00 with the #1 cyl at TDC. From there the balancer only bolts up 1 way. Could you possibly email the pics? It might help me with mine. If you would, the email is randyshear@yahoo.com and you should do a sticky thread for the job with pics. Thanks.

Do you need to put thread lock on the crank bolt or balancer pulley bolts?
