Hi, I have the vehicle listed above that needs a new harmonic balancer. Can you please send me detailed steps along with pictures and any techniques, things to look out for. Also, tools like a fan clutch and harmonic balancer removal tool and how to use them is very much appreciated. Thank you, guys so much. ❤️

Hi,

You will need a puller to remove the assembly. Also, the bolt that holds the assembly in place needs to be replaced after it is removed, and a new one installed.

Here is a link that explains in more detail how the procedure is done:

If you look below, I attached the manufacturer's directions for the removal and replacement of the part. Take a look through them and let me know if you have questions,

Take care,

joe
