So I'm in the process of replacing my harmonic balancer.
We've got my old one out, and in comparing it to the new one, we notice that there is a pin which is apparently supposed to balance it to the engine.
My question is this... how do we remove this pin? We grabbed a punch and pounded on it with a hammer, but it's not moving at all. Is it even necessary to remove this pin, or do I just put the new balancer in as is?
Here is a picture, you can see the little nub of the pin on the outer ring.
