96 Deville/4.6 Northstar
After eating 3 belts, I replaced the belt tensioner and idler and noticed the harmonic balancer appeared to be out of line with the pulleys on the top side. Evidently the rubber is seperating between the inner and outer steel sections. The grooved area where the belt rides has moved outward about 1/4" resulting in the loss of that much on the inside of the belt.
Anyway, it's the harmonic balancer and I would like to know the replacement procedure. I have a new balancer.
Do I have to lower the engine sub-frame to do this or is there enough room to slide the old one out and get the new one in? Also, is the bolt a right or left hand thread and is there anything else that should be replaced when I do this? Oh, yeah.....do I need to use a pulley puller, warm it up with a torch or will a huge hammer do the trick?
Input is appreciated.

Thanks for the info.............
I'm just a stoopid Texan and I don't know for sure what you mean by a "bolt angle devise"...........
Is that a break-over bar or handle with a socket on it?
Also, is the bolt left or right hand threads and do you recall the torque specs for that bolt?
Thanks again.
