Bringing an old post back but I'm having difficulties pulling my balancer off too. The bolts at the locations where the instructions say to use for the balancer pulley are way too short to use with the tool so I went and got longer bolts. I'm assuming this is what has to be done? The 3 bolt locations are the recessed bolts to the right of the 3 bolts sticking out, correct? NOT the locations of the 3 bolts that stick out?
Anyways, I'm giving my wrench some GOOD amount of torque and the wrench is moving but the pulley isn't really coming out. I didn't want to strip the threads in the balancer so I stopped. Should I just keep going? Just want to make sure I'm not going to fuck something up.
