Find Best Price at Amazon"This is a very nice harmonic balancer/dampener installer-puller set. I used this set on my 1969 Ford FE 390 engine, which many balancer sets don't have the proper screw for (5/8 x 18)."
"Problem I had is clearance."
"I never liked hammer mechanics but unless you have a long bolt with the proper threads I have occasionally had to resort to hammering a balancer a short distance onto the crankshaft until the bolt solidly reached the threads."
"In any case, the centering tool was too small a dia to push off against the crank snout without damaging. the crank threads."
"This tool allowed me to pull the harmonic balancer and install it after I changed the oil seal without any problems."
"This is a well designed tool that made easy work of removing and installing the harmonic balancer on my Jeep."
"Just yanked a rusty harmonic balancer off a Ford 3.0 V6 OHV (Vulcan) that broke a Harbor Freight puller in half. Will save you some pounding with a hammer, and possibly save the aggravation of stripped crank threads."
"Dodge decided they needed to be special and require a 3 jaw for removal and make the threads in the shaft about 4 inches in."

"If you are like me, I may only have a use for this kit two more times, which is fine."
"The removal tool worked pretty well but the install tool failed straight away."
"Do not allow pulley to turn, spin often at first, loosen and straighten the tool, work the pulley to keep it straight, tighten little by little."
"2005 Duramax (LLY). Only complaint is the pin (where the oring sits) collapsed in on it self under the pull."
"for the price I cannot complain."
"Probably would have helped to clean up the bore on the old pulley before pressing onto the new pump but at the time all I could think of was to grease it and with only a friction fit (not even a key-chuck) to keep it spinning I figured that'd be a bad idea."
"Worked great for pulling the pulley on a GMC C1500 power steering pump."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Although it has a rather large "female" fitting to attach it to a "slide-hammer"; I solved the problem by going to my local vendor of "nuts & bolts" and buying the correct size of bolt to fit the "female" fitting."
"The jaws are too big for 4-cyl engine (smaller transmission input shaft diameters) applications, but it has worked fine on V6/V8 larger transmission jobs."
"Wow..."
"Worked perfectly on my 98 mustang gt pilot bearing."
"looks well made but too large for a .550 dia."

Find Best Price at Amazon"A ton of maintenance items need to be performed (AC overhaul, Power Steering, Rear Main Seal, Electrical issues, and a little body work) but are well within my abilities. I soaked the thing in PB Blaster, hit the sides and the puller bolt with a 3lb sledge, applied heat, and only managed to bend the 2 pullers rented from Autozone and Advance Auto. I removed it from the standard, "No Frills", packaging and applied some synthetic grease to the threads just to ensure everything would go smoothly."
"The Mercedes pitman is on really tightly and takes some real tension to get it to remove. Method I used was to tighten the tension on the puller and then tap the pitman with a small hammer."
"Don't get me wrong, it was still a PITA to get the pitman arm off, but I never would have gotten it off if it were not for this tool."
"I had to use a breaker bar initially, but just as i thought the threads on this thing had stripped, Much to my surprise, the pitman arm just fell off."
"I tried using a pickle fork, a "3 pronged" traditional puller, a hammer, penetrating oil, and heat to try and remove the large pitman arm from my early saginaw power steering box."
"I bought this puller after doing tons of research on which one would be best for pulling the pitman arm on my 2005 Dodge Ram 2500. The main thing with forcing bolt style puller is to keep the threads lubricated."
"If you need to get a pitman arm off this is the real deal.Do,nt even mess around with those two arm pullers and hope that it does not snap the arms off.This puller is nice and heavy and THICK just make sure you lube the jack forcing screw with good chassis grease because its going to get HOT this weakens the forcing screw threads and strip out happens.no more cheap pullers to buy now that I have this BAD BOY!"
