It's important to check the specific torque specifications for your vehicle, as they can vary. Always ensure you have the correct tools and follow safety precautions when working on your engine.
To remove a harmonic balancer, you typically turn the harmonic balancer bolt counterclockwise (to the left). However, some engines may have a reverse thread, so it's always best to check the specific service manual for your vehicle. Ensure that the engine is securely supported and that you have the right tools for the job.

The harmonic balancer on a 1990 Toyota 4 Runner is turned clockwise to loosen it. This is backwards from most bolts to prevent it from being loosened by the rotation of the engine.

I have not taken one off a 74 specifically but every one I have done required a Gear Puller. The puller will bolt to the Harmonic Balancer and the center bolt sets on the head of the Crank Shaft bolt. As you turn the center bolt in it will pull the balancer off.
