I have Ross performance balancer on both my discos and it’s been great no complaints

I have a Ross on mine. Had it for about 5 years now.

I've just ordered a Ross one, so joining the crew with one very soon!

did you order the special too as well to hold it ?

I have my own tool I made years ago to hold it. Have just replaced timing gear on mine (also put timing pin in crank to hold motor)
The huge bolt that holds the harmonic balancer on is crazy torque (460nms) and you have to replace the bolt, can't reuse original

I have replaced about 15 Harmonic balancers for people so I know it’s a TTY bolt, I do have the tool also to put the correct depth for the timing case seal as well, many people don’t realise that the seal sits in a certain depth

The hub nut is 490nm which is decent but the 750nm W&B torque wrench makes light work of it

Thats a lot! Doing it for first time. I don't have a big torque wrench and hadn't found one, couldn't afford to buy one that does it and tried kennards hire to hire one. They didn't hsve one but awesome fellas there contacted a bus and truck repair place who have one and are going to help me out when the harmonic balancer arrives. They are absolute legends
