Just wondering if there is anything I need to do to install this balancer in the morning. I know that the balancer needs to lose the 15/16" retaining nut and be pulled with a puller. Do I grease the crank before instalation or anything? should I just pull off the old one and put the new one on and replace the pulley? Just checking if there are any tricks or anything I am forgetting? PLease let me know. Thanks guys. Should the pioneer balancer dampen better at high rpm's than the stock harmonic balancer?

I know there isn't many tricks,, i would put a bit of oil on the inside and outside so you don't damage the seal lip.. I don't know about your other ????

when we replaced mine we used some grease but some antiseize would probably work also

I think I will try some antisieze on the actual crank shaft and then put some lithium grease inbetween the seal and the balancer......is that right? Easy job , I just wanted to check with you guys first ya know.
