Ok i took it of so i could put on some purdy chrome chit..... Its been years since ive done any engine work sooo......i was wondering . Whats the best way to put it back on ? Block of wood and a hammer to get it started... The bolt seems a little short so i have to get it on somehow.......
Whats the trick.........I dont want to fug it up...... I could load it up and take it to the shop down the street ??? But they charge $85 an hour :o
This is something so simple, but im feeling retarded cause i forgot how to........... :banghead:
And i think my little compressor is to weak to power it back on.

You are a
I mean there is a tool for installing it? I have always used a rubber mallot and some oil until the bolt catches ???

My experiance has been that the chevy's are harder to get off, and harder to put on...........As much as i would love to save that money.
I think the tool is the best way to go. I could probably rent one for and hour for $10 bucks from the parts house ???..

Hell take a piece of wood and a big hammer and tap :banghead: that dog on there. Save your money for something else. ;)

I will check the parts house tomorrow and if its stupid in price, i have plenty of wood for beating things with ;D
I guess you can say im paranoid, im finally taking forward steps and dont want to trip and go backwards

Get the tool if you can, no reason to chance dinking up the thrust/main bearing by pounding the balancer back on. O0
-
At least you aksed first, get the tool and pull it on. Or get a selection of longer bolts and pull it on. Be carefull with the threads
-
Just get the right bolt - and one or two progressively longer (each 1/2 to 1 inch longer with the threads going past where the other one starts), and just screw it on.

snug-tap-snug -tap ect,ect :banghead:

Buy the right tool!!! It's not that expensive and a far better choice than potentially damaging your crankshaft threads or your thrust bearing.

That is a better choice.

Good point. Chevy's aren't known for thier snout strength.

I vote for the tool as well. Once you use it your days of beating one back on will be over for good. They work so damn slick you'll think youre a dumbazz for doing any other way..... I bought one years ago and it's paid for itself a dozen times.
