new balancer too tight

It's a fluid type damper and I don't know if it would like the oven too much. Maybe some hot water? It's the basis for a blower drive, so I don't want this bugger turning into 5000 rpm of shrapnel.
Maybe I should measure the inner diameter of both dampers. I dunno, might mean actually using my head.

Redfish: yeah, I used antisieze from the start, but perhaps I should consult the hand sledge- gently
