Harmonic balancer installation / removal tool?

[billyvette]

I have to replace a timing cover gasket, so I have to pull a harmonic balancer, I know autozone has a removal tool.

What about the installation side? what is needed to reinstall the harmonic balancer? another specialty tool?

THanks for all the replies.

A balancer install tool is what you need ... unlike the remover, I've never known autozone to offer this as a loaner. Some guys beat the balancer back on ... but that's kinda hard on the crank's thrust bearings. You can buy a cheapo install tool for about $30-$40.

Do check with AutoZone first though- I know they have a puller - not sure about an installer....
