Default Questions about installing a new harmonic balancer.
I bought a powerbond balancer for my 95 gt. Before installing it, I know I would have to see where the timing is set at. Then do I find TDC first before I remove my old balancer? Or do I remove the old balancer first then find TDC?

dont even bother with that. it only goes on one way, its keywayed. just pull the old one off with a puller, and zip the new one on with an air gun. done.

just use a puller and pull it, that is of course after removing the 15/16 bolt, and slide the new one on = has keyway as stated

What is a good idea at this point is to use some anti-sieze on the inside of it (on the crank)just in case you ever want to take it off.

My book says 70-90 ft lbs.
Use clean oil on the bolt threads......

Is there enough room to install the balancer with the fan and radiator in the way? Or does the fan and radiator have to be removed?
