OEMTOOLS 27306 Long-Reach Harmonic Balancer/Pulley Installer Kit, Extra Long Forcing Fasteners for Hard-to-Reach Balancer Pulleys, for Use with Ford, GM, Dodge and Chrysler V8 and V6 Engines

After several trips to loan the tool to replace the harmonic balancer at the major auto parts stores and total failure as they did not have the correct tool to replace the harmonic balancer, I decided to just buy this one. They had the tool to remove it but not replace it- by the way use the Chrysler puller to get it off don't go with the 3 prong hooks they just break. In any event once I received this tool it took all of 5 minutes to but the balancer back on. Here is the catch with all the others - there is a short kit a long kit and then this one which for some reason is slightly shorter than the long kit and allows you to us a 32mm socket to push the balancer on. With the long kit you can't get the deep socket on the nut and with the short kit it won't even thread into the crank. This is on a GEN IV GM 4.8/5.3 liter vortex, typical in the GM trucks line mine was a 2008 suburban. Durable tool, the last one you'll have to buy.

Works great and price is reasonable

A great tool at a great price. It worked like a charm, and I do recommend this to the home or professionals alike.

I’m a ford tech and use this kit a lot on newer fords when changing water pumps or replacing cam phasers on the 3.5. I’ve also used it on a 6.2 and it worked flawlessly. I borrowed this kit from a fellow coworker, then rented it before finally purchasing one for myself - and I’m glad I did!

Does not fit on some 3.5 GTDI as crank thread is smaller than tool thread and doesn't fit into crank . Works on 2.7 GTDI

Worked great on LS, idk how well it's going to hold up for doing several of them yet though

I usually stick with the bigger brands of tools such snap on blue point matco Mac lisle OTC etc but I'm a Chevy tech that stuck with a random f150 with a 5.0 coyote at my job and needed to reinstall the harmonic balancer my current installer kits did not have the m12x1.50 that was long enough found out snap on sells this same exact kit as a blue point item in a gray cases times the price so i just order this and it did the job with ease the first something for a one time use probably paid for it self

This is mandatory for reinstalling the crank pulley on Coyote engines. That I know. May be mando for others too. That I dont know. I own it now though so Id be happy to use it again. We'll see. It did the trick this time!

Es tan bueno el producto que ni Autozone lo tiene en su catálogo de herramientas a prestamo.

Works as advertised especially because they are deep reach and you get all the required thread engagement into the crank without pulling crank shaft threads or damaging the installer, great alternative to the OTC, Snap on etc. brands

This tool made the installation of my crankshaft front seal and also it’s harmonic balancer a breeze. Vehicle is a Ford Taurus-X with the older style 3.5 Non-Ecoboost. (Flex, Edge, Taurus, Taurus-X, Explorer). The provided threaded rod was long enough to fully engage in the crankshaft and provide a stable straight pushing point. Please note that the nut mounted on the thrust-bearing is a big 1 1/4''. Make sure to have a big wrench or deep open socket handy before using it. (A set of pliers could have done the trick too). Tool is made with high quality metal. I use exclusively hand tools and no air tools on these. There was no signs of wear of any kind after. Make sure to lube the threads before using it. I am glad that i purchased this tool at discounted price. The actual price is quite expensive for what it is.

Work at a Ford dealer, I’m tired of the animals here that put their impact guns on the crank pulley installer and break the bearings on the install nut so I decided to bite the bullet and try this out. Worked flawlessly with Ford 5.0, 3.5 NA and 3.5 ecoboost. Don’t bother trying to cram a wrench on the nut just use a 32mm socket with a ratchet. Cake

Great tool, well made and did the job perfectly. Installed balancer on a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7
