Charles, try using about a 12 inch long stout screw driver or small pry
bar. The bolts that get threaded to the balancer should give you a little room
between the plate and the balancer after the bolts bottom out. Once you have
taken up all the slack with the center bolt place the screw driver or pry bar
between the plate of the puller and the balancer under one of the bolts that
attach the puller to the balancer and on top of the next one to the left facing
it as if you were trying to take it off, like trying to turn it the other
direction with the screw driver or pry bar. That is what I had to do to get mine
off when I did my cam swap. Hope that may clear it up a little. Sending this
today as I just got home from driving a couple of legs of the Power Tour
2003.

-----Original Message-----I'm using the exact same tool, Brad. Its just that the balancer isn't stationary. Its keep turning as it would if the engine was started (just it turns along with the threaded rod and plate on the remover). I'm going to try to jam something between the balancer and the engine front maybe, but it seems to be in a bad position for that. Someone also told me to jam the flywheel in the back of the engine or drop the starter to get to the flywheel and that that would solve the turning crank problem. Seems like I'm doing too much.
