Default Vibration dampener 2001

So I found this forum by seeing a post on Google entitle “How the hell do I get this harmonic balancer off”. I also have a 2001 as did original poster. That post helped me immensely. My question is how do I reinstall it?

I typically install the balancer by making sure the woodruff key is on the crank properly in its groove, then slide the balancer onto the crank. Once the balancer is on, I use a harmonic balancer installer to get it going on the crank (installers are available at most car parts stores or online). Once it's on far enough, I use the crank bolt and an impact wrench to pull it on the rest of the way.
