Harmonic damper installation

I got the company to send me the tech drawing which doesn’t show the inner diameter, but does show the step down in ID in the middle. So I guess it’s supposed to be there.

I’m thinking maybe I try putting it in the oven to open it up and hope for the best.

Also I don’t have a installation tool, but Larry Shepherds book just says to use the crank bolt to install the damper


It does have to an interference fit to work.
But, I'm surprised he said that.
He probably was talking about a stock one that had been on before.
No problem there.
I would not use the bolt on a tight aftermarket one.
Be careful. You may only be pulling on a few threads.
