Should I use C-4?
I have 2002 F-250 5.4 Triton I am working on and am in the process of removing the heads. On Monday, trying to remove the harmonic balancer I was using a Snap On puller and it BROKE. The tool truck dude texted me back he had to order one.
I went to China Freight and picked up theirs and it is bending, I am using heat only around the center of the damper around the snout and Kroil penetrating oil. Combination of heat/oil/puller with big battery impact.
Bolt wasn't a problem but the power steering pully was tough also. I am probably at 10 times, it has moved a 1/4" maybe?
Any suggestions? I need help!

That's extremely odd....
Soak it with some PB Blaster for a couple hours then heat it up and try again. It shouldn't fight you THIS much.
My only thought is that if someone put loctite 262 or 263 on there, that would explain why it won't come off. Either that or if it's just that rusty where you live

I feel like a complete moron, there was another washer and I didn't have small enough center to go through the washer and it was stuck in the recess of the balancer in front of the crank. Heat and tapping around it with a brass hammer and Kroil loosened it up to where I could see it. No video I watched showed that washer or spacer and I do NOT have a manual for this engine.
I got that out of the way and it came off. I broke the Snap On puller out of stupidity.
thanks for replying!
