Well so far i have i have the fan off for more room and i took off the crankshaft pulley.I just cant take that bolt off in the middle because the balancer will turn with it.
What did you guys use to get the balancer still and loosen the middle bolt?
impact air gun, or take out spark plug on no1 cylinder and put a piece of rope in it / rotate engine until no 1 comes to the top, the rope with stop the piston from making its full rotation because it fills the combustion chamber, loosten the bolt, after words slowly rotate engine back the other direction enough to remove the rope, thats what i do, some people will freak out about it, but i have done it hundreds of times, never had a problem.
I changed mine about 2 months ago...I had no problems getting the center bolt out. I held the balancer while my dad turned the wrench...Do you have anyone to help you out? Honestly, I had a tougher time getting the center bolt back in....
Put the car in 5th gear, chock the wheels, pull the Ebrake then turn the bolt. The drivetrain will hold the balancer in place while you break the bolt loose.
