#3-1/4by28 bolts approx. 1 1/2" long and a standard harmonic balancer puller. 24mm socket and impact wrench to remove crank bolt and also a sold metal rod appro. 1 1/2 long to pit into crankshaft threaded hole to push against and a small magnet to retrieve rod after pulling off. Torque wrench or torque stick to properly tighten crank bolt to 100ft/lbs when installing.

You can just go to autozone and get it for free for as long as you want. Its $15 but you get your money back when you return it. Just make sure you get the 3" long 1/4 28 bolt at an ace hardware store. the 2 1/2 seemed a little to short.

crank bolt is SAE, not metric. 15/16'' socket head

I have the bolts and spacer from ZZP and have used it with my standard puller kit, works well. Just make sure the bolts are fully seated. Use some oil or a wire brush to clean up the threads.

Torque spec for the crank bolt is 111 ft lbs + 76* as per: http://www.grandprixforums.net/torqu...ifications.php

We just put washers on the bolts to make them longer and the balancer came off easy. Rented from oriellys

i straight up used a hammer. nobody mentioned the different bolts part, and i messed around with it until i was pissed enough to find the biggest hammer i could and beat on it for about 10 minutes. it came off. there's a thread about it here somewhere.

so if you chuck a bearing you know why...

as long as you learn from your very expensive mistakes haha. its looks true still, i'll trust it lol
