The first thing you want to do is take the front left tire off that's if you are standing in front of the car looking at it. This makes its easy to access the harmonic balancer, Next take off the accessory belt and the AC compressor belt. Now once you have done that you will see one big bolt in the center of the harmonic balancer, "You will need a special tool to hold the balancer in place so it doesn't move wile you loosen the bolt, or a good air impact will do the job just fine. Once the bolt is out grab the balancer both hands and wiggle it side to side wile pulling towards you to slide it off the crankshaft ......if you cant get it to budge you will have to buy a puller to get it the rest of the way off
To the left. Lefty loosy, righty tighty
you should use a tool called a harmonic balance puller. the balancer came off in two pieces and the second piece that's still on the crank shaft won't come off
Anytime there is a balance due, you can pay off that balance.
You will have to borrow enough money to pay off the balance on the car you now have plus the price of the car you are buying.
The big bolt that holds it on must have came out of the crank.
With a harmonic balancer puller.

It means being unstable. For example, if you hit a pothole while in your car, the car will be unstable. Either that, or off balance could also mean unpreparded, or surprised. An example for that would be like a teacher. If a teacher gives the class a surprise pop quiz, the class will be off balance by the fact that the teacher didn't tell them first. Off balance is a verb, because in both defenitions, off balance is an action word. Unlike a noun, a person, place, or thing, or an adjective, or an adverb. Basically, off balance is unstable or unprepared. This is what off balance means.
out of balance
Yes paint comes off a car but only if you scrape it against something.
generally if a crankshaft pulley comes off, it is either thru the rubber bushings in it wearing out and tearing or the bolts came out or sheared off the new pulley wheel will only go back on one way usually with a key to locate proper placement on crankshaft to enable correct ignition timing FYI the crankshaft pulley is called the HARMONIC BALANCE any auto dealer for your make of car can supply proper parts needed
