New toy. Should work to pull off harmonic balancer
you can use that type on the V8?
i would think the other style puller is still what you'd want use. unless the balancer has holes in it for the hooks of that puller.
What other style?
This is the one the gm repair manuals say to use

Did u see the link I posted. That's what gm says to use
yes i saw it, i dont have a clue what your balancer looks like. just showing you the other style puller.
yours must have slots for the hooks or something. i would not be grabbing it from the outer edge, thats for sure.
Yea it has three small slots that the claw should go into
lucky. cheap and easy to get off.
Easy....I dunno. Gotta drop cradle some. Then getting the bolt off is gonna be a *****
go red neck style on it.
dont you live on base with a garage? and like air tools? and a lift? air gun is the easy way.

The garage on base is closed because our government is incompetent
+1 for the redneck trick. Let the starter crack the bolt loose.
red neck it off, it never fails.
But I have all the necessary tools now except for a way to lower the motor. I think if I just loosen the sub frame bolts until its low enough I'll be fine. I only need like an inch or two and I could possibly break the bolt loose first
put a jack under the sub frame on the pass side, then back the sub frame bolts out a inch or so, then lower the jack, keep the weight on the jack, dont let sub frame hang on the bolts.
Do I need to have the wheels off the ground to do that?
oh yeah. jack stand at the pinch welds is the only way really.
and take the dog bones off so the engine dont bind up when dropping it a bit.
Cool. Anything else I need to do to drop the frame two inches
