The short answer is no. The harmonic balancer is manufactured in three pieces: The hub, a rubber sleeve, and the outer sleeve. They are held together with adhesive and the reason your’s fell apart is because the rubber has gotten hard and the adhesive gave up. You may be able to buy a remanufactured part and turn yours in as a core, but that is as close as you’ll get to re-using it. If you contact YourMechanic. They can send a technician to your home or office to replace your Harmonic Balancer for you right there on the spot.
