Powerbuilt Harmonic Balancer Puller and Installer Kit, 22-Piece with Case and Thread Adapters

Powerbuilt Harmonic Balancer Puller and Installer Kit 22-piece lets you safely remove and install threaded harmonic balancers on cars and light trucks using a complete set of adapters and installation hardware.

This compact kit packs removal and installation tools for harmonic balancers with threaded holes into a durable storage case. It includes specialized yokes, center screws, thrust bearings and multiple thread adapters so you can tackle a wide range of engines without jury-rigging parts. All components meet or exceed ANSI standards and carry Powerbuilt's lifetime warranty, making this set a convenient choice for DIY mechanics and professional shops who need a single solution for balancer service.

What exactly is included and which threaded sizes are covered?

The kit contains 22 pieces organized for both removal and installation tasks: a 2/3-combo yoke, a 5/8" x 5/8" national fine center screw, a center point piece, removal bolts, a thrust bearing, forcing nut, jaw nut and multiple adapters. These parts allow the puller and installer to interface with a range of crankshaft thread patterns.

• M12 x 1.5, M14 x 1.5, M16 x 2.0 metric adapters
• 7/16-20, 1/2-20, 9/16-18 imperial adapters and a 3/4-16 style adapter
• Combo yoke for different balancer flange profiles
• Thrust bearing and forcing nut for controlled installation

How does this tool make removing a harmonic balancer easier?

The puller side centralizes force using the included center screw and combo yoke so pressure is applied evenly to the balancer hub. That prevents slipping or damaging the crankshaft snout and reduces the chance of bending the balancer during extraction.

• Center screw threads into the crank hub for straight-line pulling
• Combo yoke accommodates multiple balancer flange styles
• Separate removal bolts secure to the balancer for stable extraction
• Heat-treated construction resists deformation under load

How is installation handled to avoid damaging the new balancer?

Installation uses the included thrust bearing, forcing nut and jaw nut to press the balancer squarely onto the crankshaft. The thrust bearing reduces friction as the forcing nut draws the balancer home, so the component seats evenly without marring the finish or misaligning the crank front.

• Forcing nut applies axial force evenly across the balancer hub
• Thrust bearing minimizes rotational friction during pressing
• Jaw nut and adapters align the balancer to the crank taper and threads
• Multiple adapters let you match factory thread patterns safely

What safety and quality features should I expect from this kit?

Powerbuilt designs this set to meet or exceed ANSI standards for hand tools, with material selection and heat treatment intended to withstand repeated shop use. The components are stored in a fitted case to protect threads and keep parts organized for quick access, and the lifetime warranty backs manufacturing defects.

• ANSI-compliant components for predictable performance
• Durable storage case to protect and organize hardware
• Heat-treated metals resist bending and thread damage
• Lifetime warranty covers defects in workmanship and materials

Who is this for: The Powerbuilt 22-piece Harmonic Balancer Puller and Installer Kit is intended for home mechanics, mobile technicians and small repair shops who work on cars and light trucks with threaded crankshaft balancer hubs. It’s ideal when you need a single, portable set that covers common metric and imperial thread sizes, protects parts during service, and reduces the risk of installation or removal damage.
