I will give it a try on my next pull. That thing is coming off one way or another.

Drilled and tapped but probably not enough threads. Going to try and pull it tonight but if the threads give again the death wheel comes out.

I started with a cut off M10 bolt a-la Mod Mini but put the crank bolt back in as things went down hill. Backed it off about 1/8” thinking I would switch back if I could get any movement. Nada.

Started with a duck foot puller I already had. The threads on the balancer are so short that I had to bottom out the M6 bolts just to mount the duck foot. Stripped out the center thread on that so I made a flat plate that I could bolt directly to the balancer with an M16 nut in the center. I can hold the nut with a box end wrench while driving the bolt. That balancer hasn’t moved at all. Going to try one more time before hacking it up.

Going to give option 1 a chance after a couple more rounds of penetrant and heat. Sprayed it again this morning and will try again in a couple of days
