i was driving on the southside of chicago, and wouldn't you know, my crankshaft pully/harmonic balancer broke off. it tore my belt(which was new) and tore the crank sensor off.


at least my shaft is salvagable
 
that happened to me once, the bolt that goes in the crankshaft snapped clean off, as well as part of the balancer that goes over the crankshaft snapped right off, i used a screw driver to take the end of the bolt off in the cs, and the drilled 2 holes on each side of the shaft on the broken part of the balancer that was still on the cs and pulled it off with the balacer puller, i'll try to get pics of it, its pretty amazing stuff
 
We should start a club within the club....

Call it the "BBC" (broken balancer club) for everyone that has survived the replacement of these (recycled beer can) aluminum balancers.... I've got three broken ones in my garage.

Buy a BHJ and never have to worry about it again. Just don't install a used one or you will be dealing with this all over again....
