how to replace harmonic balancer 3.4 v6 2001 grand am gt?
It is located behind the crankshaft harmonic balancer pulley on the bottom front of the engine. The right lower splash shield and harmonic balancer pulley must be removed to replace it.
Actually, you don't replace the sensor itself. The crazy thing is part of the harmonic balancer, and you have to replace the whole thing.
no it;s behind the harmonic balancer take off passenger right front tire and you can get at it. you will need a wheel puller to pull the harmonic balancer off
Its under the harmonic balancer cover. You can see the wiring on the right (front) side of the cover. Pull the harmonic balancer to replace it, make sure you line-up the teeth right in the magnetic pick-up.
It shouldn't make noise. If it does, replace it!
I would contact the local parts store and replace the harmonic balancer if you think it is bad. a bad balancer can cause failure in the crankshaft bearings because of the shake.
Assuming that it is a 3.1 V6, as most of them are, there is no cam sensor. Only a crankshaft sensor. It is located behind the harmonic balancer. To replace it the balancer has to be removed.
Am unsure of what you are asking. The harmonic balancer is a lifetime part of the engine and does not need replacement based on a time or mileage requirement.
You dont repair it...you have to replace it.
