ReluxGo Harmonic Balancer Puller for GM LS & Chrysler Engines — 22mm Socket Clamp-Style Crank Pulley Remover

The ReluxGo Harmonic Balancer Puller 25264 is a clamp-style crank pulley remover with a 22mm 1/2" drive socket designed to extract dampers on many GM LS and Chrysler engines without tapped holes.

This tool kit was engineered to simplify harmonic balancer removal on a range of V6 and V8 engines where traditional threaded-hole pullers can't be used. Instead of relying on bolt threads in the balancer, the ReluxGo unit uses a three-jaw clamp system and a short 22mm hex socket to seat behind the pulley and apply even pulling force. The result is faster, safer removal without needing to dismantle cooling components in most installations.

How does this puller remove balancers that lack threaded holes?

The puller uses a clamp-in, three-jaw design that grips the balancer's backside rather than screwing into it. When the 22mm short-head sleeve is driven with a 1/2" ratchet, the central driver pushes against the crank snout while the jaws draw the balancer outward, producing a uniform extraction force that minimizes slipping.

• Three-jaw clamp grips the balancer flange for secure engagement.
• 22mm hex sleeve fits 1/2" drive ratchets or breaker bars for controlled removal.
• Clamp system avoids reliance on balancer-threaded holes.
• Short sleeve profile helps in tight engine bays without radiator removal.

Which engines and vehicles are compatible with this tool?

ReluxGo lists compatibility across many GM LS-family and Chrysler-based engines, including popular GM displacements and several Dodge/Jeep V6 and V8 units. It is not intended for older LT-series (1997 and earlier LT1 5.7L) balancers that require threaded-hole pullers, nor for certain 2018+ Coyote balancers.

• Fits GM: 5.3L, 5.7L LS1, 6.0L LS2, 6.2L LS3, 7.0L engines.
• Fits Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep: 3.5L V6, 3.6L V6, 4.7L V8, 5.7L V8, 6.1L V8.
• Not for 1997 or earlier LT-series (threaded-hole) balancers.
• Not compatible with many 2018+ Coyote-style dampers.

What makes the ReluxGo design easier or safer during removal?

The puller's three-jaw geometry spreads the extraction load evenly around the balancer to reduce the risk of slippage or damage to the pulley face. Its clamp can be assembled and removed without tying the puller bolts into the balancer, and the short 22mm sleeve keeps the tool usable in confined engine compartments.

• Even load distribution reduces stress concentrations on the balancer.
• Clamp disassembles without bolting into the pulley, simplifying set-up.
• Short 22mm sleeve prevents interference with surrounding components.
• Works without radiator or major component removal in most setups.

How should technicians prepare and use the puller for best results?

Before use, confirm vehicle compatibility and inspect the balancer area for oil, debris, or damage. Position the jaws securely behind the pulley, use a steady pulling motion with a 1/2" drive ratchet or breaker bar on the 22mm socket, and back off if you encounter resistance to re-check alignment.

• Verify engine model against the compatibility list before purchase.
• Clean the balancer backing surface so jaws seat properly.
• Use a torque tool or breaker bar with the 22mm 1/2" sleeve for controlled force.
• Inspect removed parts for wear or crank snout damage before reinstallation.

Who this tool is for: The ReluxGo Harmonic Balancer Puller 25264 is aimed at professional mechanics, DIY enthusiasts, and restoration shops working on GM LS-family engines and compatible Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep powerplants where threaded balancer holes are absent. If you need a reliable, clamp-style extractor that avoids radiator disassembly and provides a controlled, even pull with standard 1/2" drive tools, this kit is designed to make those jobs quicker and less invasive. Confirm your engine fitment before use to ensure safe, effective removal.
