don't want to spend the money or wait for the shipping.

and want to tackle the cbu clean this weekend
i had some success using a 1/2" extension in the center of the 4bolts with some paper wrapped around the tip. Ultimately it was an exceptionally frustrating event and I damaged the stretch belt on install,did not survive 50 miles. Ill be ordering the proper tool before I attack the harmonic balancer, so i have better control of the crank hub for stretch belt install.
if you have the means to easily make a tool its probably time not poorly spent.
