Can someone suggest a harmonic balancer removal tool for a 95 xj that I can get from Amazon to remove my harmonic balancer. Thank you
All the cheaper ones are basically the same. You can also borrow the kit from some of the auto places. You need a longer bolt, a couple of washers and a nut for installing the new one. The original bolt is not long enough and will only engage a few threads at first, and you will rip out those first few threads if you try to pull the balancer on with it. Instead thread the nut and washer onto a much longer bolt, thread that bolt all the way in, then turn the nut to push the balancer on.

With one caveat! Make sure your radiator isn't a really thick one. It's already tight with a 1 or 2 row radiator. The metal 3 row radiators you buy online might be an issue.
