Installing harmonic balancer on 327

[crazeetxn]

Howdy all -

Well, we've been working on my son's '69...pulled the engine so he could clean it up and repaint it. After looking at the numbers, I found out he has a
'62 327 in there. No problem. Looks close enough to the 350 in my '86

He's taking everything off and we've come to the balancer. I know I can rent the tool to pull it...that's the ez part...how the heck am I supposed to get it back on? There's no bolt or hole (that we've noticed yet).

I've searched the threads and most talked about heating it up and "gently" tapping it on. Those threads were 8-10 yrs old and I was wondering if there has been a better way thought of since then?

Since the engine is out, I guess we could take off the crank and have it drilled to accept a bolt, but I'd rather not do that unless that's the safest way to go.

Thanks for the help...
