I dont have a socket big enough to fit the bolt on the HB and I want to make sure I get the right size. And what do I have to tourqe it down to when Im done?


Something else i noticed. You never realise how big stuff is untill you actually have it off the car.

if you dont have one, try the handle from the floorjack over the end of the socket wrench.

Well I got the bolt out with just the socket wrench *flexes muscles*
But im guessing I need a wheel puller to the balancer off?

O and no floor jack either.I usually do this stuff at my buddies house and my car was kind of stuck here. So I just put it on ramps and went at it.

No

Use a hb puller!

You don't even want to hose up the threads in the crank snout

Ok Im pretty sure its not my HB now. The rubber piece is flush all the way around. Now I need to figure out what the **** is wrong. I could have sworn it was the HB. This sucks.

What was the issue? Did you have a vibration in neutral (no load)?
