Removal of old balancer
Guys I just got a Romac harmonic dampner. I have the pulley off, which way does dampner bolt turn to take it off? I assume left like most but don't want to torque on it and have it snap off in the crank. Also what is the best way to loosen the dampner bolt without having the crank/dampner turning with it? Thanks

you turn it "standard" righty-tighty lefty-loosy
Put the car in gear with the parking brake on. 15/16" socket, big breaker bar. Remember that there is a washer under the bolt. You have to remove the washer to remove the balancer. If you don't, the puller will push against the washer and strip out the puller and/or the crankshaft threads.

Make sure you use a gear puller and not just some big @ss prybar to pull the balancer.
