Hi I got the flexplate off of my 82 gsl. but now im faced with getting the rear counterweight off and it just doesnt want to budge. any suggestions?

 

maybe a harmonic balancer puller. Some type of puller made for some other application has to work. I would say heat it carefully with a torch but u could trash that big rubber seal thats on the back plate. Or my favorite hit the bastard with a BIG hammer

 

What happened??? Is it off,,, the hammer thing worked wright...

 

sorry i've been busy getting her back together... my buddy is a machinist and made a puller for me. that got it somewhat loose... then i hit it with a BIG hammer. sucker came right off. And I'm pleased to say that my car is no longer in the air and no longer automatic. it's a high revving five speed with a hell of a lot of kick! its so much more quick than that piece of work A/T. Thanks!

 

its probably a bit late but mazdatrix sells a flywheel puller

 

its all good. my bro's puller worked fine. yeah i saw the tool before but i was kinda at the edge of my budget... college this year...
