You know, this has been a very interesting topic and thread. I enjoy the hell out of discussions like this. I actually learned something (how long I will retain it is another matter).
While 'CAROUSING WITH MY BROWSER' on 'GIGGLE' it seems the pulley press-fit is not as tight as later balancers. It's coming off easily is a matter of chance, lack of corrosion and any previous damage (BFH and HOT WRENCH).
The SPECIAL TOOL makes it easier for the TECH to work in the confines without removing the radiator.
I made a quick reconnoiter of my library and did not find the said tool catalog. I know I have one for that period. A further intense SEARCH AND DESTROY MISSION is scheduled (stand-by).
During any of this was the removal of the pulley spacer necessary? Did the front seal look OK?
Again, I appreciate what you guys have taught me ...
