Im in the process of taking off my harmonic balancer. I dont have the right sized socket for the big bolt in the center. Can anyone tell me what size that bolt is? Also does this bolt hold the pulley on, because i cant seem to get it off.

 

u need to go to autozone and rent a puller made for this so u dont damage the crank

 

And you will need an install tool when you put it back together. DO NOT USE A HAMMER, maybe you know better, maybe you don't but you would be amazed at how many people do this.

 

its a 24mm bolt. and the pulley is held on by 4 allen bolts

 

i took out the 4 bolts and the pulley will NOT even budge. I already have a removal tool for it, but i didnt realize i needed a install tool. I will go pick one of those up

 

Ok i just got the pulley off with a crow bar , i will let you guys know how the install goes.

 

any tricks to getting that fing bolt off. I keep trying, but it will just move the crank. Help!

 

CROWBAR..UHOH

 

to keep the crank from moving if you have a manual transmission just put it in gear and pull the parking brake.
