Re: [FWDLK] harmonic balancer

[John Clines <clines@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

is the engine in the car or on a stand?

If still in the car it would have been better to loosen before you removed the belts.

You can also use an impact gun, or get a piston stop. piston stops screw into the spark plug hole and prevent the piston from moving to top dead center.

if the car is on a stand put a pry bar into the flex plate and place it against the stand to prevent the crank from moving.

obviously the easiest way is an impact wrench

Subject: [FWDLK] harmonic balancer

Hello list:

I am attempting to remove the harmonic balancer from my 58 318.

Every time I give the ratchet a heave the crank turns over.

How do I remove this nut??

Thanks all in advance
