Harmonic Balancer Puller VP.

[rambunctious]

Has anyone used the cheap Ebay Pullers to remove the HB.There are several on there from $20-$50 which is probably similar to hiring one. TIA..

I used the puller in the link on a VP years ago, but the balancer really needed a hook type puller, so all I did was bent a 15mm hook on the end of some 6 mm cup head bolts I had.
Bent them in the vice with a hammer.
They were about 100x6 for memory.
Bit fiddly but pulled it off easy once I got the bolt hooks in place.
I used a breaker bar and socket on the balancer bolt and hit the starter.
Came undone easy.
No idea what the bolt size it is, I would guess 19mm, but be warned, leave the balancer bolt in place, but undone a bit, to get the puller started

i bought one of those off the shelf chinese pullers at super cheap (like the one in the ebay link) thinking it had the right size bolts for my vp balancer. all the bolts were too big, so i went to bunnings and bought some long 10mm bolts with big ass washers and it worked fine. the washers will just bend in a little depending on how thick they are. the hole size on the balancer is 10mm though.
