I have a pointer, do I use this? Can't seem to be able to line up the bolt holes either.billison said:that's pritty mutch it, run the bolts through the tool into the holes in the balacer and then put the big one through the middle and tighten the big one and it'll pull the balancer out, be sure to get the washer out first
Look at that pic, then look at mine. They are different and the bolt holes don't seem to line up. Am I doing something wrong?Tonys89GT said:Yes, thats the right tool. Just use the 2 bolts like in the 2nd pic, works great. Just did one on Monday
billison said:by the way, autozone has a simple puller for like 15 bucks, i heard advance wants like 80 for theirs,
TheUser said:Yep, that's what you want. I had trouble using it the first time too.
For what it's worth, the bolts that came w/ the kit I got from autozone didn't have the correct threaded bolts, so I had to go buy some. If yours thread in fine, you're good.
As stated, you're only going to use two bolts, all 4 do not have to line up, and won't, no matter how you place it.
Be sure and put the domed cap on the end of the big bolt if the big bolt has a square end (not domed). This keeps the bolt from cross-threading the end of the crank.
The 2nd picture, as mentioned above, is how it lines up. The part where your thumb is (the "stem" of the "flower" - of course the whole tool being the flower) - one bolt goes in there. In the second pic, see how the middle lines up over the hole - the other bolt goes in that hole (the middle "pedal" of the "flower").
I usually put the big bolt through the tool, place the cap on, put it on the crank. (Be sure and put the domed cap on the end of the big bolt if the big bolt has a square end (not domed). This keeps the bolt from cross-threading the end of the crank.)
I then get the flower part spun out so that the small bolts will go through and thread into the balancer. Then I get the smaller bolts ("stem" bolt and "pedal" bolt) lined up and threaded. Then turn the end of the big bolt as normal (clockwise) and it will pull the balancer off slowly.
Hope the "flower" thing didn't confuse you - if it does, just ignore it - just a way to think of it.
I will take pictures tomorrow of how to do this.
