Ya, luckily it also went out as i was pulling onto my street and I was able to coast all the way to my driveway! No damage other than the balancer. I thought when i was installing it that "something wasn't right.. this should press on?" But it was late and I needed to drive the car the next day to work. Luckily for me that no permanent damage was done!
