I swear I finally am going to buy one before I put my next balancer on, but up to now I've just tapped them on with wood and a mallet until I can catch the thread with an 1/8" then I pull it on with the bolt. The tool is a much better way to install them, though. ------------------

Why not get a piece of all-thread, a couple of nuts, heavy washers and a deep well socket? Of all the ballancers I've installed I have never needed more than smacking it on the crank with a hammer and piece of wood till the bolt would catch by quite a few threads. But then, I've never installed a new ballancer so my experiences may be different. Now that I'm thinking about it, I probably won't be using a hammer again. Monday I'm snagging a piece of all-thread.

Block of wood and a hammer then pull it on with the crank bolt like most everyone else. Push come to shove, buy the thing and take it back when you're done with it. It will probably have "made in japan" on it so you can tell them it wouldn't fit your domestic engine....   Dont forget the anti-seize compound.

Now thats funny, I dont the idea of beating on the crank like that.I might do the all tread or just buy the tool.Hey I could rent it out it would only take about 5-6years to get mine money back.

Get a 6-9" piece of 5/8" fine threaded all-thread, a nut, a thick washer (old balancer bolt washer), nut and a banded thrust bearing....https://sdp-si.com/ss/gif/79005062.JPG Probably cost, about 20 bucks or so in materials, aobut 50 bucks in time and gas to get all the items.... ------------------

Autozone doesn't have one? I've never checked but they have just about every other 'one use a year' tool that they rent for free.

Both of the AutoZone stores in town don't carry the installer and can't get them.I got the puller from them,but that don't carry the installer. ------------------
