What's a good harmonic balancer puller/installer?
 
i will try the search function as well, but in the meantime what's a decent harmonic balancer puller/installer?

1) When i say decent, i mean one that will basically do the job; i will consider harbor freight type stuff----i won't be using it that often.

2) Also, i'm not sure if i will need a puller to take the timing chain sprocket gear off the crank, so we should take this into consideration also----should i get a puller that can do both?

KD Tools (KD 2286)

This what I use. Do NOT use a 2, 3,or 4 jaw puller. You will pull the balancer apart and destroy it.

I went to autozone and used theirs for free... go to the desk and look at the placemat with all of the tools for rent. You basically buy them and then return them when you are done, money is fully refunded...

the gas money i've saved from trips back and forth to autozone for 30years has more than justified the expence// if i decide at 3AM to pull a balencer i just go to my toolbox a short 10foot trip
