yea - turns out the tool was a bit harder to use than expectedMake sure you took the bolt out and the washer too
If it’s stock replace it . I replace them all with a Powwrbond PB1084ss . You cannot beat them for the money . Made by gates in Australia . Even though you aren’t racing this thing they are sfi approved . Look just like stock but much better quality and the timing marks are laser etched . Last time I went to order a junk ford racing one it didn’t even have timing marks and the rubber was already protruding . I run the neutral balance version of this same balancer on my blown 347 .Got everything out, couple questions:
- should I just replace the HB? A friend is saying just to do it as it can go bad from the removing.
- what order should I reinstall everything? I was guessing tstat first before timing cover, HB, etc.
- I saw a video about performing the first pressure test with plain water, just to not have to mess around with antifreeze. Thoughts?
- should I do a full flush of the block when this is done? I read the 10hrs of drive time then change the oil. Thoughts?
Thanks all

I'm not recommending the one above. Just using it as a reference. As far as that goes I'll let the other guys chime in.
Awesome, thanks for the heads up. I ended up ordering earlier the HB and gaskets. My cover cleaned up pretty well. When I am looking next time, ill drop you a line first. Thanks again!Im from mass i have a timing cover that is sandblasted ready to paint and also believe i have a balancer if you have any interest.
