    did i reinstall my harmonic balancer correctly?

    when i took the old one off i had to use a puller to get it off. however the new one just slid on, and i can pull it right off. even after its been torqued down, i can unbolt it and slid it off with my hands. is this normal? did i leave a piece out? thanks -Allan
