Do you need a Puller to get a S1 Harmonic balencer off

[m3taL]

Just a quickie, im gunna do my harmonic balancer tomorrow but i dont have a puller

i remember hearing somwhere that the S1 V6 doesnt need a puller they just come straight off.. is this true or do i need a puller?

[excalibur]

i needed a puller to get mine off so i say yes u do
there not that dear anyway so worth having one

[speedee]

as fare as i no mate you need a puller for all harmonic balancers but i might be wrong

my $h!tbox s1 v6 vn H balancer come of with a desent pull lol, No puller required
have a go and if your replacing it get imaginative and use maybe tyre levers? you might have to remove thermo fans to do this tho i had too!

Hey Just an update,

Decided to try without and then if needed get one then.

Once i got a breaker bar and 1200mm of Roundbar and got the bolt undone it slipped off as easy as checking the oil, new on on bout 3 minute job all round.

I can drive my car again pity about the Gearbox noises...
