Hi,

A quick question about the pullers used for removing a harmonic balancer, please.

If you google LS1 specific pullers you get ones that look like this:



but whenever you watch a tutorial, they always have the less rigid type like one of these:



Just wondered if anyone knew of any pros/cons of the different types, please?! The second type with the extra rods looks like they'd be useful from what I've seen (And are available for less money, interestingly). As I said, just curious what people have found before. Many thanks smile

Thanks for the input. Would one like in the top pic be sufficient on its own or would I need any more pieces, like those threaded rods, in order to get it off do you think? I say “I”, but for this job I’ll be using a garage and instead going to be getting some of the tools in advance for anything they don’t have on hand themselves!

It’s an auto, so know I also need a way to lock things in place.
