===Harmonic Balancer Puller===

This is a Super Cheap Auto puller, about $20.  Can pay $80, $120 elsewhere for something similar, but pointless to do so.  '''None''' of the harmonic balancer pullers (including the most expensive) that I've seen include the right bolts for the RB bottom pulley.  The pulley has 2 M6 holes tapped in it, which is really small considering the enormous force that will be applied to it.  So as noted above, you must get some M6 bolts - if you come home without them, you will be going out again.  I got M6x75 high tensile cap screws, and stacked 4 panel washers under each to support them on the puller.  High tensile is a good idea because if you used a lesser bolt and pulled the thread off it when trying to get the pulley off, you would be mildly upset, and might set fire to the car.  Also before you put the puller on, work the bolts in and out of the pulley holes with some lube to clean up the holes, and ensure you can get the bolts properly inserted before applying pressure - you want as much engaged thread taking the load as possible.  Apply some wheel bearing grease to the puller's main thread too.  If it's really difficult, give the pulley a few hard taps with a hammer, while the tension is on, to try and unseize it.  When the pulley is off, check the condition of the rubber, make sure the inside is still bonded to the outside.  When the pulley goes back on, grease the shaft, again to make life easier for the next poor bugger.
