LSx Turbo Ford Fairmont Build Video #4 (Balancer Removal)
I know, I know. Its a full video simply dedicated to the removal of the balancer / crank pulley. Maybe it can be used as a reference for fellow LSx minded people.
The tool was rented from Advance Auto Parts, it was $106 to rent. All of the money was refunded when the tool was returned. I used a 15/16" 6pt Impact Socket on the balancer/pulley bolt. We had to torch it because it was not playing nice.

In this video I install coil over springs on my existing shocks/struts, they had to be modified slightly. I also installed the caster camber plates to support the weight of the car on the strut towers.

LS1 Harmonic Balancer & Pulley Removal
This is how I removed my ls1's stock 10 year old balancer. Purchased a 6'' 3 jaw puller from O'reilly Auto Parts. Mounted it up.....realized the bolt that adds the increasing pressure on the crank pulley wasnt long enough to get the job done so we improvised and got it off with minimal effort. careful...the force required to get it off can move it on jackstands. i dont reccomend doing this un-accompanied if your not using a lift.

Stubborn Crank Pulley Bolt Removal Procedure - 2 Methods Pick Your Weapon!
How to loosen a difficult crankshaft pulley harmonic balancer bolt. The first method uses the power of the starter motor, and the second method uses the force of the rolling vehicle. Be sure to disconnect the main coil wire before attempting, because you DO NOT want the car to start when doing this! This was done on a Ford Taurus but should work on many vehicles. The rolling method only works on cars with a manual transmission. Both methods work best on front wheel drive cars.

How to Remove Stubborn Toyota 20R - 22R - 22RE Crankshaft Pulley Bolt 1979 - 1995
A long (but detailed) video on the tips and tricks I've learned over the years on how to remove stubborn crankshaft pulley bolts on Toyota 22R series engines. (22R 22RE 22RET)
By far, the best way would be to have the SST (shop specific tool) that Toyota recommends, but not many folks (me included) has one of those in their garage. This is a video of some of the tips and tricks that I've learned over the years on getting this sometimes EXTREMELY stubborn bolt to come out.
The most common reason that you need to be able to get this bolt out is so that you can access the front main seal on the front end of the crankshaft. Most older Toyotas develope an oil leak through the seal. Oil works past the worn-out seal and then gets flung around the front of the engine and engine bay by the crankshaft pulleys. It's really a pretty easy fix for a very messy problem...if you can get the crankshaft pulley bolt off in order to access the seal.

LSx Turbo Ford Fairmont Build Video #7 (Wheels on the Ground)
I scored a set of 18" Cobra R rims with tires for 200 dollars. I went to put them on the car and had socket problems. I ordered a thin wall socket and moments later the car was on the ground.
