Guest suprageek Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Got a new harmonic balancer for my sup, it's very tight to get on, any tips to get it on without breaking something, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Put the bolt in and drive the b4stwerd home. Just make sure its on the snout in the rite place with the keyway lined up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprageek Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Had a go that way the balancer is turning ffs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Then you must be missing the small metal piece that sits in the crank nose. There should be a square sectioned raised section on the crank nose that aligns with the notch in the balancer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprageek Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 No it's there, the woodruff key Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 As scooter says you must be missing the woodruff key, you can get them from a motor bike spares shop for about £1 but you would nned the orignal to compair so makes that a moot point, Is it a stock balancer as I have heard after market ones need opening up to even get on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Do you mean you are turning the engine over before it pushes back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprageek Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Yes it's turning the engine before it's fully on, its almost there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'd be concerned about driving it on if its too tight, it could pick up on the crank and cause a proper mess. Is it a genuine Toyota CP ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprageek Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 No it's an aftermarket one dnk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Impact gun would sort it. But you going to need to lock the engine if not. In farness puting it in gear with the handbreak well on should stop it enough for you to wind it back . there will be a bit of slack to take up but should do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Aftermarket ones are meant to be honed to size. The crank end gets accurately measured and the bore of the new pulley get's honed out to match. It says in the instructions that it's undersize to cover all cranks.

Guest suprageek Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I think it's on, gonna compare the original on how far it sits out from the lower timing cover to be sure it's all the way on, looks about right it's only sitting 3-4 mm out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Ah I assumed you had a pulley locking tool, without one, or at least some sort of in gear handbrake etc locking as mentioned above you can't really torque it up high enough, can you?

Lee P Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 As already said you are supposed to measure then hone them to fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 It'll not come off now though, it'll have burred the crank dia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprageek Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 No it hasn't I put it on and took it off a few times till it just slid in nicely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 No it hasn't I put it on and took it off a few times till it just slid in nicely For that to happen, metal would need to have came off of something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_jekyll Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Itle be fine just drive and enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 It's supposed to be an interference fit, and need pulling on (by the bolt) and pulling off (with a puller). It's now goosed...and merely relying on clamping by the bolt to hold it on, and driven and damping via small contact areas. Expect it to come loose.

Guest suprageek Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) It's not goosed it does need putting on with the bolt and pulling off with a puller, it's on tight it's going nowhere, when I said it slid on and off easily I didn't mean by hand Edited September 7, 2015 by suprageek (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Oh, I was just going by your post where you said you kept taking it on and off "till it slid in nicely". It's not supposed to slide in nicely, it's supposed to be pulled on as a tight interference fit by the damper bolt. But if you are happy, I am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest suprageek Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks Chris, yes comes off with the puller and screws back in with the bolt feels just right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
