Any harmonic balancer should be installed and removed with the proper tools.
And I don't mean a hammer or pry bar.
Some classes of NHRA racing require a Fluidamper or ATI balancer. The stock balancer can come apart and fly around. The rubber sandwich between the hub and outer ring can/will fail from extended high rpm use. Sometimes the outer ring will rotate throwing the timing marks off.
And I don't mean a hammer or pry bar.
there nice but really not need for 5000rpm motors.
