Tools Required

J 23523-F Balancer Remover and Installer

Caution: Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be OFF, unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, also disconnect the negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

1. Disconnect the battery negative cable. Refer to Battery Replacement in Engine Electrical.
2. Remove the fan shroud assembly. Refer to Fan Shroud Replacement in Engine Cooling.
3. Remove the drive belt. Refer to Drive Belt Replacement .
4. Remove the crankshaft balancer bolt.



5. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolts.
6. Remove the crankshaft pulley.




Notice: To prevent damage to the end of the crankshaft when using a crankshaft balancer removal tool install a bolt in the crankshaft. Use a shorter bolt with the same threads as the crankshaft balancer bolt. This bolt will allow a place for the tool to push against. The shorter bolt is to keep from going past the threads in the crankshaft and damaging the crankshaft threads.

7. Use J 23523-F to remove the crankshaft balancer. Refer to Crankshaft Balancer Removal .
8. Clean and inspect all parts. Refer to Crankshaft Balancer Clean and Inspect .

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.
