Hey guys, I got the balancer off without any damage, and without purchasing a new puller! I actually had a 9/16 fine thread bolt to fit my puller in my bolt bin, of course it was only 1-1/2" long! Using sockets, washers and a few other things as spacers, I was able to impact the balancer all the way off. I am a mechanical engineer, and I just don't understand why you would need such a tight press fit! There is a keyway and a bolt on the end of the crank, I would imagine a lighter press fit and some sort of lock on the end of the bolt would suffice. I guess I'm just glad it's not a taper lock fit(like on an outboard motor flywheel) those are even scarier!
