ordered the replacement parts for the puller and picked up some grade 8 bolts. I will try a little heat under pressure when I get back to it. of course the company is out of Washington. so it will be a while...nice that it is lifetime guarantee and they picked up shipping too

Keith,
Not sure where you are in Delaware, but once you get it off if you are close enough to Baltimore it might be worth running it to ATI and have the fit it for you. Have someone measure the crank snout with a good micrometer and take that micrometer with you to use as a reference. Any machine shop with a Sunnen rod hone should also be able to do it but a lot of guys don't have the proper mandrel for that small size. I bought both of them for Big Blocks and Small Blocks.

Hope this helps !

I had one like that. Put as much pressure on the puller as you think it will stand, then hit the jam bolt with a hammer right on the end and hit it hard. Keep tightening the puller and repeating the process. That is what I had to do to get one off that was not honed before it was installed. Good Luck.

i ended up cutting the hub off. this thing was welded to the crank! was told by the machine shop that it was actually too loose when installed. Unfreaking believable take a look.....

They may have used 609 loctite (green) or similar when they put on the damper which was loose,if you use too much that can happen. gsa612
