1991 Mustang LXHarmonic balancer

[Blueinfan]

Hi All,
I’m replacing the harmonic balancer on my Fox n having issues removing it. How can I remove it? As you can see some of it already fell off. I posted a picture of the new one.

Thanks for your help again!!!

You need a puller.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Professional...le-Mitsubishi/dp/B08FD1FQSC/ref=sr_1_5?sr=8-5


You local parts store may have one for loan, rent, and/or sale.

While you're looking for tools... Do you happen to know what the torque value is for the new balancer?


70-90 ft/lbs comes to mind but needs to be verified.

I rented one from O’Reilly. The middle bolt is tight as hell n can’t take it off. The crank turns as I try to take the bolt off. I used a pipe wrench to try to grab it but that didn’t work. I was avoiding to take the radiator off but looks like that’s going to be the option. Can I use an impact gun to remove the enter bolt? I have one from Harbor Freight that has forward n Reverse only.

Absolutely

Just tried but the impact wrench is too long to fit. The transmission coil is in the way now.

You can do the ol' socket with a long breaker bar against the frame then bump the starter. Did this ALOT back on the day when I didn't have power tools.

Pick a spark plug that is easily accessible, shove some rope inside the cylinder, don't need a lot, turn the engine by hand till it stops, use a breaker bar to loosen the nut.
Is this a stick stang ? Just put it in high gear, chock the tires.

I did that once when I was very young, I'm still traumatised by that incident

Put the car in gear and set the emergency brake....

Get your neighbor drunk and when he passes out roll him under a wheel like a chock.

You can't do that, it's not an emergency
