    Can anyone send me a link for a good harmonic balancer removal tool that fits? (2TR-FE) I am trying to avoid the starter/pop method with a breaker bar, i’ve been searching the internet, and I would like to avoid ordering a tool that doesnt fit. I was in the middle of replacing my headgasket when I got jammed up with the crank pulley. Any help is greatly appreciated!

    From your description you mean to loosen the bolt that holds it on correct?

    Can you get to it with an impact gun?

    That is what I have used in the past.

    yes but would have to take off radiator and radiator shroud. nuts are rusted on radiator bolts. impact doesnt always work. worse case senario will just have to use impact, hold pully from moving with a belt. but would be nice to find a tool to keep handy.

    btw how have you gotten it back on? does it need to be pressed or just slips right back on?
