Origin
This product was designed to solve the problem of properly installing the harmonic balancer. Traditional methods of installation often used make-shift tools which did not align the balancer to the crankshaft. This could lead to damage to the crankshaft or harmonic balancer.
Manufacturing/engineering specifications
This product is made in Taiwan, weighs only 1.25 lbs, and is constructed of high strength steel. It also includes a durable, U.S. sourced bearing.
Storage and display
The Ford EcoBoost Long Reach Balancer Installer comes with one unit in a compact, fully labeled box. It is best placed near any other balancer installation tool.
Demonstration
Demonstrating this tool is simple; it is packaged assembled. The nut and bearing assembly should already be against the cup, just as it would be in use. Allow technicians to get “hands-on” with the nut and bearing assembly.
