What have you guys used to pull the counter weight. No tool store has one specifically made for the rotary. I have to replace rear main seal.

I used a pulley remover that I got from either pep-boys or autozone. Worked like a charm.

Check the FSM and you can see how it is supposed to be removed. I can't remember if I used the one with teeth on it or the one where you thread two bolts through to pull it off. One of them definitely worked really well though.

I tried a harmonic balancer puller and the threads started to stretch. I have to do it with the engine in, will that pose a problem. Not much room and im am tall.
