Chevy LS Engine Balancer Puller & Installer from Summit Racing

[@ricksanchez4825]

Like seeing an old friend again, as I followed you for years in the Hot Rod books and am now retired, So good to see you again, Look forward to seeing more from you.Since I'm still building,

[@milojanis4901]

Good job Jeff! I'm one of "those guys" that uses a pneumatic impact. Done at least a half dozen of them, and none have come loose, and none have spun on the crank

[@lonnieblackwell9215]

Good video. Right to the point without a lot of unnecessary commentary. More videos like this one.

[@darylm.9432]

Good video, thanks. I'm going to give it a shot.

[@tonysheffler1574]

Thanks Jeff, I am about to start (for the 1st time) on 3 LS projects and this was nicely detailed for Info. I appreciate it!

[@DonBMW]

This info is golden; you just gained a subscriber. I am about to replace the crank seal on my 5.3 Vortech and was not sure how to reinstall it. Thank you so much!!

[@ronaldmestre7317]

Thank you Jeff, for the information well said. Now I'm having and issue with pro charger model: 23341 and the current factory damper does not line up for me. It's an LS1 5.3 year 1996 - 2005. I'm looking for the correct damper option, I guess belt size would be great as well.

[@davidpoland7862]

Great info as always. Thanks Jeff!

[@coleconway3781]

What valve covers? They look great.

[@Titian92]

Is there additional info on the bearing size and part number?

[@genegalpin556]

Nice video! Informative. Thanks!

[@agooser26]

Is there a link to thise tools?

[@RGVto512toVA]

Where can I find the silver looking crank holder? I couldn't figure out the part number.

[@jeffsmith2003]

If you are asking about the Summit balancer holder tool - the large flat plate with the three legs - that is at Summit Racing under PN SME-906008

[@RGVto512toVA]

@@jeffsmith2003 awesome! Thank you very much..

[@Atherzuberi]

I think GM says to not oil the seal surface just the inside. Its a dry seal.

[@rogerg1416]

Curious, why would anyone want to replace a defective GM stock harmonic damper with another GM stock harmonic damper?

[@wesleyv4555]

Would you pin the Summit balancer

[@jeffsmith2003]

It's not necesary to pin the balancer unless you will be using a supercharger then it might be a good idea as the load increases dramatically. For normally aspirated engines I don't think it's necessary.

[@Wasssssuppppppp6869]

I cannot get the crankshaft bolt out from the balancer. Any ideas. Tried everything. Now looking at cutting it out. Everything is rusted in place. Thanks

[@jeffsmith2003]

That's a tough one. I would soak the snot out of it with penetrant - PB Blaster and Kroil work well. You may have to apply heat to help with this process. I would see if you can find someone with a oxy-acetylene torch to get this really hot - gonna be tough because the threads are buried deep into the crank but I'd try that first. And use a big pnuematic air gun with tons of pressure. If all else fails, you will probably ahve to drill it out but I think the bolt will loosen before that happens.

[@dixiehandyman]

I had to heat mine up and once it was hot, it came right out.

[@MintMonte87ACSS312]

Not only can it slip off, you can also damage the engine if it comes off at a angle.

[@wilcat375]

love it

[@sleepchamber]

Why is this channel showing up as Cameron Benty now???

[@bentymedia]

I created it based on my home KZbin channel. I need to change it over. Thanks for the reminder.

[@joshparker2903]

I disagree with applying antiseize to any harmonic balancer. It’s press fit and should only be installed dry to the crank. WD-40 at most!
