what is the safest way to remove the spacer that goes on the front of the crankshaft behind the ballancer?

this motor is internally ballanced

Larry,I always hone mine a little so it will slide on and off by hand,if that is what u are referring to.

your right rick thats what I am talking about. unfortunately I didn't hone mine.

I am sure I have an aluminum spacer too

A little bit of antiseize doesn't hurt either.

Had to heat mine a little bit to get it off.
