Re: removing a damaged harmonic balancer 700 1991

Al --

You need to beg, borrow, steal, buy, or build the crankshaft tool. Plans for building one are in the archives. You can buy one for under $40.

Or use "the rope trick." This, too, is well described in the archives.

Avoid using an impact wrench on your crankshaft. Starting in 1985, Volvo's crankshaft design used cast instead of forged steel. This results in a more brittle crank, and you run a slight (admitedly small) risk of snapping your crank with the sharp impacts from an air gun.
