If you heat a harmonic dampener, you stand a good chance of ruining the rubber that holds the outer ring on. Do yourself a big favor and rent a installation tool. Heating works great on the crank timing gear though.

Or, if you can make one to get you by. Buy a bolt that fits the crankshaft threads (can't remember size), a nut to fit this bolt, and some big, thick washers. Put the washers on the bolt, followed by the nut. Start the balancer on the crank snout, then thread the bolt in. Bottom the bolt in the crank. Don't tighten it down real hard. Now start running the nut and washers up to the balancer. It just a matter of holding the bolt with a wrench, while you tighten the nut. It should pull it right on.

Oh, and don't beat on the balancer with a big hammer. It's not good for the thrust bearing.
