Harmonic balancer rubber

[cjcrotty]

As per a local Mercruiser supplier, I removed the balancer using a standard gear puller. The outer pulley and flat rubber ring separated from the inner balancer hub. Can this be reaasembled or do I need to buy a new assy. Thank you in advance. The Merc 3.0 has no threads in the crankshaft...is there a preferred methos to getting this on the shaft.

Hi cjcrotty,<br /><br />You will need a reconditioned or new balancer. <br /><br />Fitting a new balancer was discussed a few days ago - good luck.<br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=24;t=006748 <br /><br />Aldo.

Thanks Aldo...read that string from a few days back. It really left alot up in the air. I do appreciate your response. Hope I can find a reconditioned balancer.

Yea, I personally have never had a problem using a block of wood and a hammer but its all in the 'feel'. Sledge hammer isn't the answer. <br /><br />I can understand the other opinions, a hammer is a dangerous thing in the wrong hands.<br /><br />Aldo
