OTC makes a nice puller that works well on the LS balancer. I have a Snap On installer. Search ebay and you will find both.

Have you ever thought about something too hard? Picked up the three jaw puller out of my tool box and just gave myself the ol facepalm. Jay

^^ yep i use a 3 jaw puller from oreillys part # 67021 to remove........ then heat up my pulley alittle to soften it. then use a piece of wood and hammer to somewhat get it on alittle further to i can run it on with the crankpulley bolt. Thats just temparily until i can find someone that sells a 120mm m16 bolt around here

the factory bolts work really good for installing factory crank pulleys. sometimes need to get creative with the aftermarket stuffs.

It also is very efficient at pulling the first 5 threads out of the crank....

I went to a hardware store and got one that was just a little longer. Used it prolly 6 or 7 times without a stitch of problems.
