Harmonic Balancer
I'm trying to get the harmonic balancer off my 89 302. Got the bolt out, sprayed some penetrating oil, cranked down on the puller until I could crank no more. Applied a bit of heat with a propane torch, but the dern thang won't move. Suggestions?

make sure you have the washer that goes on the bolt out as well then it will slide right off, that washer is about 1/4 in thick and your puller wont pull the balancer over it although I've seen a few people try!!!

Use the puller on the head of the bolt. Back out the bolt a little at time and increase pressure with puller. Have seen pullers that went inside crank hole and messed up the threads and never popped balancer off. Careful

Thanks, daerhldgs2, for helping me get my head out of my rear end! Oh, well, at least it's good to know I'm not the first one to leave the washer in. 
Thanks to everyone else for your ideas, too!
