Is it the right one? (hb)

I hope so. Checked with seller (eBay) and they say good to go...

Looks right but time will tell...

Fark talk about make things hard for yourself!!

This bastard stupid puller I have is useless.

Current state is I have the old balancer out as far as the bolt will go but it's still on. I've wound the bolt back as you do and it now has about 1/8th of turn before it seats on the balancer, so I can't get it they last bit off, regardless of the puller...

Angle grinder is ready....

Have you tried tapping with a hammer? Is the h/b bolt still in, but loosen of?
Another member said it awhile back.

The eagle has landed...

Tbh 99% of my agg has been the puller and how I've bastardised it. I've really made it hard for myself but it's off with this contraption which includes the bolt used to get it on... just tightening the new one as I type which Incidently is a perfect match...

 

[Pauldw500]

Tight as....

Isn't the puller supposed to pull from the edge just outside of the h/b bolt?

Yes and it did till I couldn't get the last bit. My puller is not conventional as I didn't realise how it worked to start and thought it had to thread into engine. Bolt it came with was too thin so I drilled out the puller so I could get the bolt used to pull puller on thru it, which in turn was wrong so I used a nut pushing back onto puller to do what is is designed to, albeit in a diff way from how it's intended to work. As I say I make things hard for myself but end of the day it's done.

New balancer is on and tested. No wabble at all...

I'll try and get a vid of before and after hosted to show...
