harmonic balancer tool

[daveblank]

I have a customer that is looking for a harmonic balancer bolt tool that works off of an air hammer. Any ideas?

how about just have them get a impact ratchet

hmm.. that sounds like destroyed thrust bearings waiting to happen... harmonic balancers are usually slowly pressed on either with high temperature differences or a puller/installer.

I'm pretty sure he is just talking about the lisle tool for removing tight balancer bolts, not for removing/installing the balancer?

It's a sort of "right angle impact"

That looks like what he was describing. Thanks

You're the tool dealer, shouldn't you know this stuff?

I'm not smart enough to know everything. Also, the Lisle tool did not come up in my system because they no longer make it.

I was wondering that a couple of days ago when I tried to find it. Looks like remaining places might be carrying old stock. I better hurry and buy one.

Whoops, my bad, i've never seen a tool like that, probably works great for tight spaces. Just go ahead and disregard everything I said previously!
