I need to know how to remove and replace the crankshaft sprocket. The pin has sheered off causing the harmonic balancer to not spin with the crankshaft. Any guidance would be highly appreciated.

Hello,

The crankshaft pulley bolt is a "one-time" use and must be replaced whenever it is removed Disconnect negative battery cable. Remove engine cover. Using 16-mm spanner wrench, rotate serpentine belt tension arm clockwise about 14 degrees to relieve belt tension. Remove serpentine drive belt. remove belt on crank pulley and remove it. you may need a puller you have to replace the timing belt when the sprocket is removed and you need a special tool to reset the timing belt.
