Ok. My balancer has been acting up so i decided to replace it. I start takin it off and when it comes off the end has been broken off in the crank. It goes from maybe 1/4 in into key notch down to whereever the balancer ends. THe balancer is aluminum and easy to drill into so i started drillin into it and using self taping screws to get it out but they dont seem to get a good hold on the old aluminum and ends up rippin out. Doesnt matter if i get some good threading going, the pressure of pullin it out is too much. Apparently there is a seal on the outside of the crank area to stop oil seepage. From what i tell its the yellowish rusty lookin seal along the outside. If i take this out do i get more room to acess the broken bit of the balancer. I was maybe even thinkin aobut tryin to drill all the way through to crack it and get it to come out but dont want to damage my crank or anything. What can i do if anything. I guess back at the tapin screws tomorrow, but i dont think its workin and running out of areas to use my puller on it. All help is really appreciated. Thanks all. Zach
