Default Hawk LS Series Harmonic Balancer Installation Tool

Hawk LS Series Harmonic Balancer Installation Tool








Here is the Hawk LS Series Harmonic Balancer Installation Tool. It has been on market for over 10 years now and proven itself to be a must when installing a harmonic balancer. Universal installer tool kits do not work well with the GM LS Series motors. No longer do you have to chance stripped or damaged crank threads trying other installation methods.

There are two versions offered, the GM LS1, LS6, LS2 & LS3 or the GM LS7. The GM LS7 version is approximately 3 inches longer due to the deeper crank threads in the GM LS7. So the tool needs to be longer. The GM LS7 version can be used on other LS motors but there may be clearance issues with the added length of the tool during use.

I know this may be a silly question but I have to ask as it is labeled as an installation tool... Does it also act as a harmonic balancer remover?

I guess asking a question from a vendor about a product they produce warrants a humorous response. My bad.

Please answer the first question this time. And the second is a valid one too:

1. Does it act as a puller too? You need a puller to pull the original HB out, correct? If not, do you sell that tool too?

2. Which tool does the LS3 dry-sump engine need? The LS3 or LS7? That motor has a forged crank, which is different than wet-sump LS3s. Thx.
