Subject: RE:Torsional Damper by SJW on 2005/10/25 18:51:51 There is a special Kent-Moore tool for this job, but it is indeed expensive, and unnecessary. If you do use an ordinary puller, be extremely careful that the tool does not damage the threads in the snout of the crankshaft. Take no chances with this, or you may well ruin a crank, or need to re-tap threads in its end. I've heard from quite a few guys who've made this painful mistake. I had very good results with driving mine off from behind as described in my earlier reply, and I know that most of the guys I've had any dialog with who have removed one have done it the same way I did, so I'd suggest you at least try it first. Whichever approach you choose, best of luck with it. Be well, SJW [/i] |
