My 228 gmc crankshafts are not threaded and the balancers driven on to the shaft using the extractor and a SFH. But my 270 and 302's have threaded crankshaft ends. I didn't like the idea of driving the balancer on using the extractor to pound on. I use a smal diameter pipe and drive it - it fits around the center and it seems to work well and distributes the force evenly on the balancer. But, this method may be subject to scrutiny too. Please note: SFH to quell the natives 😃
