ReluxGo Harmonic Balancer Puller for GM LS Engines — 22mm Socket, 3‑Jaw Clamp for No‑Thread Removal

The ReluxGo For GM LS Harmonic Balancer Puller 25264 is a three‑jaw clamp puller with a 22mm 1/2" drive socket designed to remove crank pulleys and dampers from GM and select Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep engines without tapped holes.

If you need to extract a harmonic balancer quickly and safely from compatible LS and related engines, this puller gives a non‑invasive alternative to threaded‑hole tools. Its clamp‑in fastening and short 22mm sleeve socket let you pull dampers without disassembling the radiator or creating extra work. Built to sit behind the balancer, the three‑jaw design distributes force evenly to reduce slipping and damage during removal.

Which engines will this puller work on?

This tool is engineered for a broad range of GM LS engines and many Chrysler family engines. It supports GM 5.3L, LS1 5.7L, LS2 6.0L, LS3 6.2L and 7.0L applications, plus numerous Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep V6/V8 models listed by displacement. Note common exceptions: it is not compatible with pre‑1998 LT series (LT1 < 5.7L with threaded holes) or 2018+ Coyote balancers.

• Compatible GM: 5.3L, 5.7L LS1, 6.0L LS2, 6.2L LS3, 7.0L
• Compatible Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep: 3.5L V6, 3.6L V6, 4.7L V8, 5.7L V8, 6.1L V8
• Not for: 1997 or earlier LT (threaded holes) and 2018+ Coyote dampers

How does the clamp‑in three‑jaw design protect the balancer?

Instead of forcing bolts into the damper, the clamp‑in jaws grip the balancer’s backside, spreading load across three contact points. That reduces point stress and minimizes the chance of slipping or deforming the damper during extraction. The design also makes it easier to set up and remove the puller when the job is done.

• Three‑jaw clamp distributes pulling force evenly
• Reduces risk of slipping or denting the balancer
• Quick release disassembly without bolting into the damper

What makes the 22mm 1/2" socket useful for this job?

The included 22mm short‑head sleeve socket with a 1/2" drive is sized to interface with the puller’s central forcing mechanism for efficient torque transfer. Its short profile fits into tight engine bays so you usually won’t need to remove the radiator or other components. That saves time and simplifies harmonic balancer removal on many vehicles.

• 22mm hex socket matched to the puller’s central shaft
• Short sleeve profile for confined engine bay access
• Works with standard 1/2" drive ratchets or breakers

How easy is it to use this puller in a typical repair scenario?

Setup is straightforward: clamp the jaws behind the balancer, position the forcing screw, then turn the 22mm socket to draw the damper off the crank snout. Because the puller clamps rather than threads into the balancer, you won’t have to remove ancillary parts in many cases. Clear instructions and the self‑releasing jaw design make the process faster and safer for DIYers and professional mechanics alike.

• No need to tap balancer or install threaded bolts
• Often avoids radiator or accessory removal
• Fast clamp setup and release for repeated use

Who is this for? The ReluxGo 25264 harmonic balancer puller is aimed at automotive technicians, backyard mechanics, and restoration enthusiasts who service compatible GM LS and many Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep engines. If you frequently remove dampers and want a non‑destructive, time‑saving tool that fits tight engine compartments, this puller is a practical addition to your tool kit. Check engine compatibility before purchase to confirm fit with your particular model and year.
