Right or left handed threads on taking out harmonic balancer bolt on 1996 prizm?

Right hand. It's got a lot of torque so I get then loose by using an extra long breaker bar and bumping the starter. Just make sure you've got it braced against something solid (like the ground or driveway etc.) because you don't want it slipping and tearing something up.

Changing a front oil seal on a 350?
This can be quite a job depending on the year of the vehicle. If it's an older vehicle things are a lot easier. Basically, you have to remove everything from the front of the engine so you can get at the harmonic balancer. If you are real lucky you may get by with just removing all the belts. On some vehicles you can get at the harmonic balancer from underneath the car or truck. One way or the other, you have to be able to get at the harmonic balancer. There is a 5/8" bolt in the middle of the balancer. Remove it and use a harmonic balancer puller to remove the balancer. At this point you can see the seal that the snout of the balancer went through. You need a seal removal tool to get the old seal out. Most rental places will have both the harmonic balancer puller and the seal removal tool if you don't. Get the old seal out. Now, take the new seal out of it's package and use a little motor oil on your finger to lube the rubber on the new seal. Put the new seal in using a hammer to tap it into place. This can be a little easier said than done sometimes. Use care not to damage the new seal. Try to get it lined up evenly and just tap it in a circular pattern to get it started. Once you have the new seal in... take a look at the snout of the harmonic balancer and make sure there is not a groove in it from the old seal. If there is one, head to your local auto parts store and grab a harmonic balancer repair sleeve. If all is well you need to use the balancer tool to put the balancer back on. Most balancer tools double as a remover and installer. Make sure you have the key on the crankshaft snout and the groove in the balancer lined up. Once you have the balancer back in place put the 5/8" bolt and washer back in. Use a torque wrench and tighten it to factory specs. If my memory serves me correctly it's 65 ft. lbs. on a chevy. But don't rely on my memory. Now just put everything back on the engine and you're back on the road. This may be a job for a mechanic if you have never done anything like this before. But, it's an expensive job. It's also a good learning experience to do it yourself and save several hundred bucks. The seal itself should be under $20.00 Take pictures of the front of the engine as you remove things. Better yet, get a buddy to video record as you go. It will be a big help when it comes to putting it back together. Also, label everything you can. It's usually a lot harder putting back together than it was taking apart. I would plan on making a weekend of it. Good luck, Guy
Where is the crankshaft position sensor located on a 1989 buick century?
If it is a 2.8 or a 3.1, the crank shaft position sensor is located under the rear exhaust manifold, right above the transmission housing. Its a small sensor with a 8mm screw holding it in place. Be careful pulling it out, the are known to break off in the block housing. Then the fun really begins to get it out. If its a 3.3, or a 3.8, it is located under the harmonic balancer. You can take the sensor off without taking the harmonic off, but it is ultimately easier to take the harmonic off because you have to adjust the sensor to the timing ring on the harmonic. Its easier to do when its apart.

What is harmonic progressions in maths give examples?
Harmonic progressions is formed by taking the reciprocals of an arithmetic progression. So if you start with some number a, and add a common difference d each time, the arithmetic progression would be a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d etc. The harmonic progression comes from taking the reciprocals of these terms. So we have a, a/(1+d), a/(1+2d), a/( 1+3d)... Here is a harmonic progression: 1/6, 1/4, 1/3, ....

Are there left handed power steering threads on a 1993 Ford Areostar 4 liter where the return hose connects?
My guess is yes. I tried taking mine off by holding the retainer nut and turning the 18mm hose nut with an 18mm flare nut wrench to the left and the craftsman wrench broke. So I'm assuming it must be a left handed thread. Perhaps someone with more experience will know for sure.
How to install a new harmonic balancer in a 1989 park avenue?
This is easy job, and very difficult at the same time. In general, you just remove the serpentine belt, remove the coil pack if located over the belt for wrench clearance, use a large (approx 15/16 inch I think) socket and breaker bar, remove center bolt, pull off the old balancer, and install new, torque to approx 135 foot-pounds. However..... the old bolt may be seriously overtightened from the factory, and restraining the old balancer from turning takes a HUGE strap wrench. The balancer bolt on my 87 Park Ave took approx 250-300 foot-pounds torque to loosen it. Wow. Forces here can be large, and serious injury can result. You might consider taking to a shop-- this job can get ugly.

How do you replace harmonic balancer on 93 Ford Tempo?
1994 Ford Tempo GL 2.3L Harmonic Balancer Removal and ReplacementRemoval1. Disconnect the battery ground cable at the battery terminal.2. Disconnect the battery ground strap from the starboard side of the engine near the passenger side strut tower by removing the bottom bolt of the fuel line shield.3. Release tension on the belt tensioner and remove the drive belt.4. Remove the fuel line shield. {If you don't, it will prevent the engine from dropping down far enough later when you try to lower the engine to remove and reinstall the harmonic balancer. It is also nice to have this out before trying to remove the water pump pulley.}5. Remove the belt tensioner. {It will be in the way when attempting to remove the engine side of the starboard engine mount.}6. Mark front side of the water pump pulley and then remove the water pump pulley.7. Check the bearings and free play of the water pump, idler pulley, and belt tensioner pulley. If any of these is worn, replace it now. You have already done the labor!8. Raise and support the vehicle.9. Remove bolt for accumulator-to-compressor A/C line support bracket, then position A/C line toward rear of engine compartment.10. Install a Rotunda Engine Support Bar 014-00750 or equivalent;Or position a bottle jack or equivalent and safety stands under the transmission and engine, use blocks of wood to protect the oil and transmission pans.11. Remove both sides of the starboard engine mount. {Remove the second half of the mount on the engine side as well as the half on the wheel well. This means getting to the upside down 18mm nut at the firewall end of the engine mount. I have had success getting to this from underneath the car with a long extension.}12. Remove right (starboard) side bushing bracket and mounting bracket for stabilizer.13. Remove the vibration harmonic balancer bolt:a. Option A) Remove the 7/8" vibration harmonic balancer bolt through the opening in the wheel well after removing the passenger side {starboard} front tire. Then lower the engine assembly taking care not to crush the fuel fittings that were protected by the fuel line shield.b. Option B) Carefully Lower the engine assembly and then remove the 7/8" vibration harmonic balancer bolt from under the car. IF, and ONLY IF, you do not have adequate clearance under the car to remove the old or install the new vibration harmonic balancer, perform these additional steps:i. Remove front isolator through-bolts and lower retaining nuts.ii. Remove rear isolator through-bolts.iii. Remove right isolator lower retaining nut, then carefully lower drivetrain.14. Remove the vibration harmonic balancer. If necessary, use Bearing Puller T77F-4220-B or equivalent. Your vibration harmonic balancer may come off in up to three pieces, the outer sheet metal, the pulley portion including the long ago deteriorated rubber, and the metal sleeve with the key slot that slips over the end of the crankshaft. Fortunately, my metal sleeve came off with a little gentle prying; yours may require a gear puller. 1994 Ford Tempo GL 2.3L Harmonic Balancer Removal and ReplacementInstallation is NOT just the reverse of the Removal procedure!1.
