    6.5l harmonic balancer.....

    Makes sense but as far as being so easy to take off and put new one on has me stumped it doesnt wobble ive personally never delt with one that was so easy to come off and go on.

    6.5l harmonic balancer.....

    It wasnt on the threads it was put on the edge of crank snout after balancer was installed then bolt was put in. I only changed it cause his oil seal was leaking and the rubber wasnt looking good so before he broke his crank i replaced it
