I installed a new balancer (along with all the other new stuff) I tapped it on with deadnlow hammer and block of 2x4 then pit bolt in and used 18v impact to pull it on.... I think it all the way on, but not 100% this look right?
I took the bolt back out and added a spacer and ran it back right again, didn't move.

I don't know if it's on all the way, I'll have to look at mine but I don't think it was a good idea to hammer that balancer on.

Yeah I probably shouldn't have, but u know that's how the Haynes book said to do it... Didn't hit it all that hard... Then the bolt pulled it up pretty easy... I did hold the crank pully up to it, and they looked in line, I will mount tomorrow and lay next against it and make sure

yeah, I know, I was dirty/sweaty and didn't want to have to drive over to Advance and get it, I figured I would see if it went on easy first... and if not... then I would go get it.....

NEVER hammer on a balancer. Use the proper install tool. You can damage the balancer, crank, seals and thrust bearings.
