Harmonic Balancer Installer

[firebane]

Wondering if anyone would have a harmonic balancer installer kit I could borrow. Called Auto Value and Parts Source and neither of them have one.

Tried to located some 7/16-20 threaded rod to create my own but nobody seems to have this either.

Don't want to be spending $80 on something I am only going to use once.

This also needs to work on a 1974 SBC 350. I picked one up from Princess Auto but it does not work for my engine.

Big impact wrench? I've never used an installer tool, just one for removing the balancer.

This can lead to stripping out the threads on the crank which causes 3x more problems.

It's not going to be a problem on a V8, plus the engine rotating slightly will be absorbing much of the impact. Anyway, I haven't had or heard of any problems with this.
