The Ford EcoBoost Long Reach Balancer Installer is used for the installation of the harmonic balancer in Ford and Lincoln cars, trucks, and SUVs with engines: 2.7L, 3.0L, 3.3L, and 5.0L (32 valve) in the model years 2011-2018. Applications vary by model year. 

Features and benefits 

• This product installs the harmonic balancer onto the crankshaft of Ford and Lincoln engines, including EcoBoost series engines.
• Completing the installation the right way the first time, saves time and eliminates unwanted potential component damage, says the company.
• No more knuckle busters, the spacer cup brings the screw head out further than traditional tools, making it less likely to slip when tightening during installation.

Selling points

• Design is ideal for use when installing harmonic balancers in the tight confines of modern-day engine compartments.
• Easy access to the center screw head with the spacer cup creates less slippage when tightening. 
• The nut and bearing assembly create a friction-free tightening, ensuring the perfect fit.
• Cup and center screw have a durable, rust-resistant black oxide finish.

Origin

This product was designed to solve the problem of properly installing the harmonic balancer. Traditional methods of installation often used make-shift tools which did not align the balancer to the crankshaft. This could lead to damage to the crankshaft or harmonic balancer.

Manufacturing/engineering specifications 

This product is made in Taiwan, weighs only 1.25 lbs, and is constructed of high strength steel. It also includes a durable, U.S. sourced bearing. 

Storage and display

The Ford EcoBoost Long Reach Balancer Installer comes with one unit in a compact, fully labeled box. It is best placed near any other balancer installation tool.

Demonstration 

Demonstrating this tool is simple; it is packaged assembled. The nut and bearing assembly should already be against the cup, just as it would be in use. Allow technicians to get “hands-on” with the nut and bearing assembly.
