There is always that chance on that style of balancer that is two pieces with the rubber and nothing else between them. Just as there is the chance that the outer ring will come of on it's own. I've seen that and the carnage involved a couple of times. I also had a guy bring me the two parts and the rubber sleeve years ago after he had used one of those three arm gear pullers to pull the damper off and turned it into a real two part damper. He was wanting to know if we could put it back together.
Back to the subject at hand, Sammy 4358 is most likely going to have to find TDC on number one using traditonal methods and then see where the mark on the damper is and if it is at 12 O'Clock or where ever and go from there.
