Help-Harmonicdamper removal?

[Camarogbg]

Hi!
Need to remove my harmonicdamper on my CCB 396 but it wont move! I have the Performance Tools removal tool but one of the bolt snapped and the damper did not move at all.
Any ideas? Need help!

Thanks.

Thanks.

got a pic of what you're working on? Did you remove the large bolt/washer in the middle of the balancer that holds it to the crankshaft?

I use this tool. Se picture. The balancer have a 4 hole-pattern in it so i use two bolts.
I have tried to give the threaded rod in the middle a wack but without any luck. How much force can i use?

And yes, i have removed the center-bolt on the crank!

Sometimes it takes quite a bit to brake the balancer loose. When you use the puller to remove the balancer, reinstall the bolt. So that the puller is pushing against the head of the bolt. You don't want the puller shaft down inside the crank snout where it can mess up the crank bolt threads.

Were you able to remove the broken bolt ? and is the engine on a stand? if so buy higher grade bolts for bolting the puller to the balancer, next use a air impact wrench to remove the balancer, make sure that you remove the center bolt washer and re-insert the crank bolt as mentioned in the previous post and use oil or grease on center screw in the puller.

Yes, i got the broken bolt out.
Thanks for the advice, i´ll try with new grade 8 bolts!
