Harmonic balancer tool
According to Bills website you should use a harmonic balancer
installation tool to put the balancer back on. None of the local stores
I checked had such a thing (Auto Zone, Advance, Northern Tool), but they
all had pullers.
Where do you get this tool? Would any local place be likely to carry
one or is this something only available through mail order? I see
Moroso has one but it's kind of pricey for something I'll rarely use.
Thanks!

And here I thought that was what the bolt in the center was for!
Actually, I had a bolt with the right threads that was maybe an inch longer
than the original bolt. Put that through the big washer, tighten until
either it bottoms or the washer seats on the end of the crank, pull bolt
and put correct one in, torque.
The only "special" tools I ever used on that was the puller and a long piece
of bar stock with two bolt holes so I could bolt it to the pulley. Use a
bar long enough to jam against the frame as you break the center bolt loose
or torque it down. Oh, yeah, you will probably have to grind a small notch
the get your socket in to the bolt.

Re: Harmonic balancer tool
I not understanding, we use the balancer, just tap it on, to center the
timing cover on the seal, before the cover's tighten down.
