This is the 2.7L V-6 with the double belt harmonic balancer that came off and broke the Woodruff Key

DAMAGE DONE BY HACK - notice that the key slot that was at 12 o'clock when the belt was removed turned counter clockwise.

A hack removed the BOLT by bracing breaker bar and TURNING the engine. He never torqued the bolt after the timing belt job. Harmonic balancer came off twice.

Notice the broken Woodruff key is at 7 o'clock. It was at 12 o'clock when I removed the belt. This hack turned the camshaft counterclockwise without the belt attached and I don't know why! It was correctly timed before that move!

The pullers bolt completely bent in this failed attempt. I stopped this fiasco to get some smart advice from you and do it myself.

Another hack failed attempt. When other pullers failed, two holes were drilled into the timing gear for the other puller which also completely failed.
