anyone know how. Its a 460 big block.


I got the little bolt off on the end. But do I have to take out the Bearing on the inside of the balancer?

Help Please :D

I'd try hooking up a HM puller to the 4 3/8 bolt holes in the balancer, putting a dummy bolt in the end of the crank, and cranking the puller down against the dummy bolt head until the tool torque gets to 150 fl lb. A little heat (propane torch) on the pulley center may help. This may damage the seal, but you were going to replace it, anyway. If that doesn't move it, anybody that has specific experience with 460's please jump in. There are things in factories called taper lock we use on electric motor pulleys where you remove two Lock bolts, install two fine thread "puller" bolts in dummy holes, tighten them until the taper is stressed, then tap it with a plastic hammer until the taper releases and the pulley falls off. This doesn't look like that, and I never heard of one of these being used in automotive service.
