Balancer went bye-bye!!!!
My son calls me - frantic as all hell, and said that the balancer on his 96 Z28 came off in front of his girlfriends house.
Sure enough, the balancer was in his hands when I arrived. He was a little pissed to say the least.
I remember that when we put it on after we changed the seal, it went on real easy....now the $10,000.00 question.
The balancer should be more of a press-fit than just an easy slide-on??? Right?
I'm thinking the crank twisted inside the hub, and loosened the mounting bolt at the same time.
Is my thinking correct? I guess I need to get a new hub.

More than likely the outer "pulley" part of the damper came off and the inner part is still bolted on. A stock damper is 2 pieces that over the time the plastic or rubber that holds them together comes apart.
