Harmonic balancer installer

摘要

A universal tool for installing harmonic balancers upon the end of an internal combustion engine crankshaft. The tool comprises an elongated threaded shaft having an inner end which includes a removable threaded adapter for attaching the shaft to the end of the crankshaft by means of an axial threaded hole in the crankshaft end. A bolt connects the threaded adapter to the shaft, and a thrust bearing slidably mounted upon the shaft is axially forced into engagement with the balancer by a shaft mounted nut whereby rotation of the nut forces the thrust bearing against the balancer pushing the balancer upon the crankshaft. The use of adapters having various sizes and thread specifications permits the tool to be employed with a wide variety of crankshaft sizes and models.
