Oh, I didn't think about it properly. I've got one with 4 fingers that you can put bolts through.

 

Yeah you could pull a balancer off with that more than likely, but the balancer would be farked after removing it. You can't lever it from the outer ring without damaging the rubber part or snapping part of the balancer.

Honestly Gaz that end of the guide is subjected to vibration and not so much touch wear so don’t go bothering to change it out at the effort that’s required

 

see picture for reference

Yes but that region holds it in place.

Is it alright to pull the balancer with a generic external 3 jaw puller??

Or do I NEED to use an expensive internal one?

Best with this. But then throw the balancer  in the bin. The cast ones dont last on manuals.

Are these a short service life item or is he saying that in 5yrs you should have travelled 80-100k km's?
Is that an issue being down 10psi? In your case it is but.....

Doing the math from the atomic website a standard bf2 spring is 60psi, which we know is good for 6psi of boost, but no good around 13 psi give or take a little??

Therefore. Targeting 25psi of boost, requires 72psi of spring pressure minimum. Few of mine are down to that hence valve float.

Really need them up around the 80-85 for a bit of safety.

It's still all just so expensive.

$382 "cost" for the bigger springs.
Plus the guide for 198.
100 odd bucks in seals etc

Probably should have put a new passenger guide, and tensioner in there which would have but this exercise well over 1100 bucks.

All for a misfire that still may be lifters
