Review on Professional Harmonic Balancer Crankshaft Shankly by Joshua Talbot

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The puller bolt is hollow and allows a sufficient length of the shaft to pass through.

Worked great. I used this on a '99 Chrysler 300M with a 3.5 liter engine and only had to remove the fan assembly to make room for the puller, not the radiator. After removing the fan assembly, there will be 5 inches between the surface of the radiator and the front of the crankshaft nose, allowing enough clearance for this puller. The puller pin is hollow allowing a sufficient length of shaft to pass through the pin. So I suggest you start the removal process with a longer stick. Another tip: rotate the damper until you can see the three 10mm bolts holding the small timing belt cover just below the crankshaft nose. The small cover fits between the gaps in the three beams in the crank damper. This gives you a little more room to place the ends of the jaws in the center of the damper. After removing the small cover, rotate the damper so the three bars form a "Y" in the middle of the damper. This allows the top two jaws to be held in place by gravity while you hold the third jaw with your ring finger. With your other hand, tighten the screw until there is enough tension to hold all three jaws in place.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
