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?
10-04-2013
This is the one the gm repair manuals say to use

this style. the bolt in kind like we use on the 3800.
10-04-2013
Did u see the link I posted. That's what gm says to use
10-04-2013
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.
10-04-2013
Yea it has three small slots that the claw should go into
10-04-2013
lucky. cheap and easy to get off.
10-04-2013
Easy....I dunno. Gotta drop cradle some. Then getting the bolt off is gonna be a *****
10-04-2013
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.
10-04-2013
The garage on base is closed because our government is incompetent
10-04-2013
+1 for the redneck trick. Let the starter crack the bolt loose.
10-04-2013
red neck it off, it never fails.
10-04-2013
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
10-04-2013
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.
10-04-2013
Do I need to have the wheels off the ground to do that?
10-04-2013
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.
10-04-2013
Cool. Anything else I need to do to drop the frame two inches
10-04-2013
thats it really, nothing else should need to be unhooked.
except if you red neck the bolt off you want to pull the ignition relay or fuse so the engine dont run after breaking the bolt free. make sure it wont fire up before you try to break the bolt free.
10-04-2013
OK. Im going to try 91parkave's way of removing it first. If that don't work then redneck way it is. I gotta jam the flywheel anyways to torque the bolt down.
Now I don't own a torque angle meter which the manuals say to use after I torque the bolt. Is that necessary
