Here's my homemade cool tool to press on a harmonic balancer, It's a threaded rod welded to a bolt, a mustang 2 strut washer, and some nuts and bolts and then here's a store-bought kit. The kit includes a bearing that keeps things sliding smoothly.

theres something about homemade pullers I like!I have a few made for one off jobs.

In response to a PM earlier today: Here is the tank mount I made for my S/C tank. The “Paintless Dent Removal” guy did an outstanding job, but he needed a way to secure the tank, in his shop. The underside of the plywood “tray” has a 2 X 4 glued and screwed to it, so he could clamp everything into a large vice.

Here is an Amazon link.  I found the lowest price the box was not. Marked. Looks like the same unit is marketed by many sellers. I payed $54.00
Some of the others didn't say the chuck went up to 1/4  inch. A lot of my instruments have 1/4 shanks
