SkipshotMJ Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Today i was trying to put a harmonic balancer on after an old one tried to seperate. While i was pressing it on the key wouldn't stay in its little notch on the shaft :fs1: . Does anyone have a tip for keeping the key in place while pressing the balancer on? Thanks in advance.

flint54 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I have had success using heavy grease if the key fits snugly, and if that didn't work I've glued them in. Check the keyway in the balancer for burrs that might be dragging the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfpackjeeper Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I seated mine with a few taps from a BFH. It survived the balancer being pulled off a few times easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkipshotMJ Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks guys. My dad decided to call up a mobile mechanic to try and press it on and he had worse luck than i did. the guy didnt even show up wtih any tools. right now the guy is out on another call and i think I'm gonna use your tips to try again.
