Cal-Van Allstart 38110 Ford Harmonic Balancer Holder Tool

The Cal-Van Tools 38110 Ford Harmonic Balancer Holder is a professional-grade specialty tool designed to lock the crankshaft in place during harmonic balancer bolt removal or installation on popular Ford engines. It can also be used to rotate the engine when aligning timing marks, making it a versatile addition to any automotive technician's toolbox.

How It Works:

The tool's mounting studs engage the open spans of the harmonic balancer to brace against them, while the open-face faceplate design allows full socket access to the balancer retaining bolt. A 1/2" drive knockout hole in the faceplate accepts a standard ratchet or breaker bar, providing the leverage needed to break loose or torque the center bolt without the crankshaft rotating.

Key Features:

• Crankshaft Locking: Adapter securely engages the harmonic balancer to prevent crankshaft rotation when loosening or tightening the pulley bolt
• 1/2" Drive Knockout: Compatible with standard 1/2" drive ratchets and breaker bars for maximum leverage
• Open Faceplate Design: Allows socket access to the balancer retaining bolt while the tool holds the assembly stationary
• Timing Work Ready: Can be used to rotate the engine for timing mark alignment and other timing-related procedures
• Multi-Use Capability: Also holds the crankshaft stationary when accessing torque converter bolts
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand the high-torque demands of professional automotive service
• Broad Ford Fitment: Designed to fit multiple Ford, Lincoln, and Mazda vehicles from 1992–2016

Part number 38110 (also sold as 38110CV) is an essential specialty tool for any shop or DIY mechanic performing front engine service on compatible Ford-platform vehicles.
