Default How in the world do you?

How in the world do you get the balancer hub back on? I'm talking about the three pronged thing the balancer bolts on to. It looks like it is going to be impossible to hammer it back on once it is pulled.

Between the crossmember and the rack and pinion there is just no room.

Thanks
Jay

There is a special tool called a "Harmonic balancer install tool" Or you can get a longer bolt and have washer to shim it till the oem bolt will grab threads..

Use a installer. Don't hammer it on!

I'll try to find an installer. Is this something I can get from an autoparts store or Sears?

How do you protect the seal when it is going in? I don't want to screw it up and remove that timing chain cover again. :eek:

You can get a puller/installer tool set at Sears.
