Note to self: if you ever need the harmonic balancer changed let a mechanic do it. |

the loctite trick worked thank god.
there is currently a bag of ice on my crankshaft, and my harmonic balancer is sitting in the sink which is full of water that was so previously boiling. i also ground the front tip of the woodruff key down with my dremel.

all i can do now is laugh.
i managed to get the balancer on a bit farther than i did before, and now its perfectly straight. the heat/cool thing worked extremely well. unfortunately, nothing can go well for me.
the installer thing slipped out of the crank AGAIN when i was pressing it in. so, i followed advice from an old guy who was a mech for like 40 yrs and he said just use the crankshaft bolt to press it on. too bad i need about 1/4" more til the threads engage. so, i did what any normal person would do in that situation and threw a wrench across my street, then rode my bike to the hardware store to get a longer one. i get there and am having a hard time finding the right size with the fancy bolt size-o-meters and one of the older 'i know everything about nuts and bolts' guys comes over and helps me out. hes having a hard time figuring it out. now two guys are helping me and they both determine its a half-size metric bolt. probably a 13.5mm thread. wonderful.
what that means to me is there is a small possibility grainger carriers one, and a small possibility fastenal does. and since i've been using a 12mm thread on the installer, there is also a possibility my crankshaft is stripped out. i can thread the bolt in a bit (w/o the washer) but cant go much further bc the pulley is in the way.
