Hey there,
I'm wondering if anybody has some ideas how to get a harmonic balancer off an ED without- a... Destroying it b... Purchasing a harmonic balancer removal tool.
I've got everything to make a puller up, but I'll bet theres a dodgy way of getting it off quicker, like bolting a few high tensile bolts to it and whipcracking it with some heavy chain.
Thank you, P.

not really.. its best to use a puller to get if off or you risk damaging timing case or your self..

unless you want to cut away at it bit by bit with an angle grinder...

the balancer pullers are about $16 to buy new from parts places, or $34 from supercheap. ring around

I ended up using a timing chain wheel of an XF, 3 engine mount bolts (half inch, about 125 mm long), and a m20 bolt in the centre against the retaining bolt. Handy to know if you get stuck in the boonies like I did...
