Harmonic Balancer on my 390


Today I bought a Puller and got the harmonic balancer off the Crankshaft. When I pulled it the Pully and the Balancer came off but there is still a Bushing of some sort that I though was supposed to come off with the balancer, So here is a Picture of the Part that is still on the end of the crankshaft and is too big to remover the Timing Chain Cover. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's the spacer, all FE's have one.
Knock the key out of the front of the crank and slide the spacer off, then you can remove the front cover.

Thanks for the Information, I called my Machinist and he laughed when I asked about that center section, he said you haven't taken apart a lot of FE's have you... I replied NO but I'm Learning. It slipped right off and all is good.
The Engine is going to the Machine Shop this week and I probably wont see it till spring sometime., So I need to get busy on the frame and get it ready for the Engine and Transmission to be put back in. I need to find the right Fuel cell and I am going to put a MSD Atomic Fuel Injection on it. Here is the Body I am going to use on my 1975 Highboy Frame.

So your putting a bump side body on a dent side frame.
Looks like recent paint.

Yes that is exactly what I'm Doing. Its the best of both worlds, Yes the paint is new and the Upholstery is done, now all I have to do is finish the frame, Engine and tranny and put it all back together, I still have to get a Fuel Cell, the MSD Atomic Fuel Injection system and the Steerman Cycle Electric Steering then I can get this thing all put back together.
