About to do this for the first time, I've never done this before on any engine so would appreciate some advice.
I don't know much about them but am pretty sure they are pretty critical to balancing the engine/crank (?) which is pretty obvious but also the timing, hence the timing marks on them.
I assume its important that it goes back onto the engine in exactly the same position that it was when I took it off so as to keep all the timing marks correct but what happens if I make a mistake and it goes on in a different spot?
Any tips on potential issues during removal and fit would also be great. I'm just going to use a standard 'harmonic balancer removal' tool, which looks similar to a steering wheel puller.
Heres the beast in question,
