RB30

[GQ GAL]

Ok so I'm trying to take off the harmonic balancer off my RB30. I've removed the center bolt and attached the pulley tool. But everytime I go to rotate the tool, the balancer moves.

 

I have the drive belts on to try hold the harmonic balancer still but that hasn't worked and I don't have an assistant to try counteract the force being applied to the pulley.

 

 

Does anyone have any advice for me😁

Can you put up a pic of your setup? I don't understand why the balancer should turn due to a puller (normally the pushing rod for the balancer has a cap that rotates freely on the shaft)

Either way, even if you don't have an assistant (and assuming you don't have a flywheel lock tool) you just need a bolt on the rear of the motor, a pry bar between the bolt and the flywheel ring gear, and a long arm...

I did have all belts on but I started taking them off

There looks to be an ARB in the photo, so....just putting it 4th gear should be sufficient, no?

Note, for clarity, he cross posted anther thread that has a photo in it.

Dont people just put a breaker bar and socket on, then crank the engine for a second?

Amm ... put the centre bolt back in about 5 turns ... maybe 

Not sure what you have on the end of the puller but doubt its sitting in the crank nicely.

Yeah so I put it into 4th gear and used a socket and breaker bar. It came off perfectly 😃

 

Thank you all

take starter out and small g clamp on starter ring gear or flywheel
