M-8 Balancer Bearing Installer
Camarillo, California based JIMS says that "all M-8 engines (Softail and
Touring) incorporate balancers to reduce vibration. Our newly developed
balancer bearing installer, which can be used in conjunction with our
existing balancer bearing remover, allows the bearings to be precisely
installed in the proper location. Incorrect installation of these bearings
can cause severe damage to the crankcase, or even complete engine
failure. The precision machined installer aligns to the crankcase via case
bolt and dowel locations, allowing the technician to install the bearings
on a workbench without the use of a driver or press."
