The GearWrench 2286 Harmonic Balancer Puller provides a precise and controlled method for safely removing press-fit harmonic balancers and crankshaft pulleys from modern engines. This professional-grade automotive tool is engineered to prevent damage to critical crankshafts and seals, offering technicians a reliable solution for front-end engine component servicing in daily shop use. It is designed to remove balancers, pulleys, and gears with tapped holes.

Key Features

• Controlled Pull Geometry: Engineered pulling geometry maintains force centered on the crankshaft, minimizing the risk of balancer flange distortion and crankshaft stress during removal.
• Professional-Grade Construction: Built with heavy-duty steel components and precision-machined threads, this puller is designed to withstand frequent use in demanding automotive and light industrial environments. GearWrench tools are recognized for their durability and are made with premium alloy steel and chrome finishes that resist rust and corrosion.
• Broad Engine Compatibility: Suitable for many domestic and import engines that utilize a press-fit harmonic balancer or crank pulley, commonly found on late-model passenger cars, light trucks, and fleet vehicles. It includes 3/8-24 UNF, 5/16-18 UNC, 3/8-16 UNC, and 10mm x 1.5 screws for a wide range of applications.
• Floating Swivel Protection: Features a floating swivel to prevent damage to the shaft end during the pulling process, protecting critical engine components.
• Compact Access: Its low-profile design improves access in tight engine bays while still providing the necessary leverage for stubborn or corroded balancers.
