I have been trying to remove the vibration damper on my 454 to put a bigger cam in, but i absolutely cant get it off. i soaked it in pen oil. I thighten it and shocked it with a hammer, i heated it, and i broke 3 pullers trying to get it off. Im starting to get really frustrated and i need some advice before i do something stupid.

 

Never had one that stubborn before. You are using a dampener puller, not a gear puller?

 

With the dampener puller remember to NOT have the three bolts tightened down. Keep is just a little loose and the center bolt floating.

 

I have been using a vibration damper puller, but i did have the 3 bolt tight. I will try it with the bolts not tight, as soon as my snap on puller comes in.

 

Tighten the puller up and tap on the balancer with a hammer and repeat.I have never seen one that requires heat to get it off..Is it a rebuilt motor..has the balancer been replaced.

 

you could drill it next to the crank to relieve pressure, youd need a new one tho
