harmonic ballancer

Post by stock 4runner »

dose any one know an easy way to get the ballancer off of a vn v6 motor as my pullers are too big to fit in the engine bay of the lux. i got the bolt out easy now just need to get the pulley off as it does not have any bolt holes in the front to pull off either

Chester,
You might have to undo the engine mounts and jack the engine up OR lower the back of the gearbox to tilt engine up.

Is there holes in the pulley at all? You may be able to place some steel plates behind it with nuts and attach the puller to them.
Got a pic?
Everything I've read and the only VN I removed the balancer from, fell off. Didn't need a puller at all!

Series 1 VN doesn't require a puller. Series 2 onwards does. There are threaded holes in behind the the pulley section. You can access them through the oval holes in the front.
