John here are the specs on the tool I made to hold the harmonic balancer while you break the crank bolt loose.
2" wide x 5/8" thick x 24" long Aluminum
1-1/4" hole for socket to pass through
(2) 3/8" holes, 2-7/8" apart
(2) 3/8" bolts 1-1/2" long
(2) 3/8" nuts
(4) 3/8" flat washers.
I have used the tool several times and it works fine, I might suggest you try using a tad bit longer bolt though, maybe 1-3/4" or 2".
The pics should explain it all. The exposed threads on the 3/8" bolts slide into the 2 holes on the crank pulley (harmonic balancer) and the other end of the tool rest against the frame rail. The 1-1/4" hole allows your socket to pass through, you will need a good length cheater pipe. That fucker is going to be tight.
Another thing that I have had to get creative with is removing the pulley once the bolt is out. I have had a few come off by hand, but most of the time I have had to use a puller. Since the holes in the crank pulley are not threaded it makes using a Harmonic balancer puller difficult but the trick is to have some 1/4"-20 all thread on hand and cut two lengths that will pass through the holes in the pulley. It is a pain but if you use a telescoping stick magnet you can get a nut on the back side. I'll let you know if I remember any more tricks.
