no one here has a harmonic balancer installer tool.. could someone post pic or brand name or part # or helpful hints...thanks
 
Most pepople just tap it on with a rubber mallet at first then go to the parts store and get a longer bolt with the same pitch and thread pattern of the stock bolt, this allows you to thread the bolt with the balncer not on all the way ( stock one is not long enough to reach the threads) then you just screw in the bolt till the balancer is all the way on or on enough to use the stock bolt.

whatever you do DO NOT USE A HAMMER TO INSTALL YOUR BALANCER.

You can also heat the balancer up to about 200 degrees and with some antiseize it should slide on. Don't heat it up too much or you could damage the elastomer ring or warp it.

I rented one from autozone (had to call a few until I found one)and it worked great. Don't hit it with a hammer or do the longer bolt thing, you can screw the threads on the crankshaft up or mess up the HB. Good luck
