Orion Motor Tech 3-Jaw Harmonic Balancer Puller Kit 🛠️
Description:
This 3-jaw puller kit from Orion Motor Tech speeds up the removal of pressed-on harmonic balancers and dampers, letting you extract pulleys without disassembling the radiator. It is meant for home mechanics and professional technicians who need a compact toolset for engine front-end service and timing component jobs.
Key Points
The set includes a 3-jaw puller that provides a firm, centered grip and a push bolt designed for a 24 mm hex drive or a 3/8" square drive tool, improving control during extraction. Four forcing rods in different lengths are included to adapt to a variety of pulley depths and keep the removal process efficient. According to the manufacturer, this design reduces time on many domestic and import vehicles by avoiding extra disassembly.
Technical Specifications
- Name: Orion Motor Tech Harmonic Balancer Puller Kit
- Material: AISI 1045 medium carbon steel with cataphoretic electro-coating for corrosion resistance.
- Forcing rods: - 4", - 5.4", - 6.2", - 7.5".
- Drive compatibility: 24 mm hex drive and 3/8" square drive.
- Jaw type: 3-jaw adjustable puller.
Usage Recommendations
Use the center push bolt to apply steady, even pressure while the jaws remain centered on the balancer surface, which helps minimize slippage and potential damage to the pulley. Start with the longest forcing rod that fits and switch to shorter rods as needed for better leverage. Keep the set in the included blow-molded case to avoid losing small components and to transport it between shop and job sites.
Advantages
The construction in medium carbon steel with an electro-coating increases resistance to wear and corrosion, which supports repeated use over time. Compatibility covers a wide range of vehicles, including many Chevrolet, Cadillac, Chrysler, Ford and some Mitsubishi applications, according to the manufacturer, so the kit can serve as a versatile addition to a mechanic’s toolbox. Consider that very seized or heavily corroded balancers may still require heat or additional penetrating treatment before safe removal.
