460ci Pulley & Balancer . . . How?

[S_Beaudry]

Guys, go easy on me with an answer here......

Anyone know the correct way to put on the harmonic balancer and crank pulley onto a ford big block 460?

Is the balancer just "tapped" into place or does it have to be pressed on?

Anyone know where to find the bolts that connect the pulley to the balancer, I believe there are 4 of them? Even went to the ford dealer today and they say they do not sell them anymore.

Anyone . . . please help!

I use a harmonic balancer installation tool like the one in the picture. As far as bolts I purchaced mine from ARP. http://www.arp-bolts.com/media/pdf_files/DR_48-52.pdf
Theres the link to the page where you can see them, scroll down to the pump and lower pulley section. Hope this helped.

Thanks guys, she went on without a hitch.

Though, I forgot to mention she is a truck 460, so she did need the funny looking spacer behind the balancer.

Everything went well, the shear pin lined up nicely and we gently "tapped" her on with a piece of wood and a hammer.

Took some muscle to get the 150 lbs of torque on the bolt though . . . .
