Remove sensor from block face Install or Connect: Install crankshaft position sensor to block face Tighten bolts Torque Value: 20-40 N-m (14-28 lb.ft.) Install crankshaft position sensor shield Connect electrical connector Install balancer on crankshaft Apply thread sealer GM #1052080 or equivalent to threads of crankshaft balancer bolt Torque Value: 150 N-m + 76 °(110 lb.ft. + 76 °) Install inner fender shield Install tire and wheel assembly Torque Value: 140 N-m (104 lb.ft.) Lower vehicle Install serpentine belt Connect negative battery cable This would take you several hours with the correct tools if you had a pretty good mechanical ability. Hope this helps - let us know
