Harmonic balancer puller query
Hi,
A quick question about the pullers used for removing a harmonic balancer, please.
If you google LS1 specific pullers you get ones that look like this:
but whenever you watch a tutorial, they always have the less rigid type like one of these:
Just wondered if anyone knew of any pros/cons of the different types, please?! The second type with the extra rods looks like they'd be useful from what I've seen (And are available for less money, interestingly). As I said, just curious what people have found before. Many thanks

So instead I suspect I’m needing to purchase the balancer remover, the flywheel locking tool, the install tool, the front seal puller tool… and obviously the parts that are going on the car itself, lol.

Thanks for the reply 🙂. Unfortunately in my case the sort of places that operate on that basis here don’t have those sort of tools (I’m in the UK).

Saves 2 hours or more for 21$
We used the Summit Puller as well
By the way. Look up Cradle Drop Method and Don’t Remove the Rack... just bring it down on the cradle
Enjoy the Thrash!
