Start by removing the right front tire and support the vehicle with a jack stand. Then remove lower portion of the splash guard near the harmonic balancer. Remove all drive belts. First remove the A/C alternator belt. Loosen the 14mm bolt at the front of the belt tensioner and then loosen the tensioner bolt (it is the one that's sticking straight up, you use a 14mm socket on it.). The power steering adjuster bolt will be accessed from the bottom near the power steering pump. It has a 12mm bolt head on it. You will break the jamb bolt loose first and then loosen the adjusting bolt. Remove belts. Then remove harmonic balancer bolt (19mm). If the harmonic balancer will not slide off the crankshaft then use a two finger gear puller. Place the harmonic balancer bolt back in the crankshaft but do not tighten it. Leave it about a half inch from being all the way in. Next place the puller on to the harmonic balancer. (one finger on each side securely press into the belt groove.) The center puller bolt will rest against the harmonic balancer bolt head. Tighten the puller bolt and make sure the harmonice balancer bolt does not turn. The balancer should come off at this point.
The harmonic balancer on a 1990 Toyota 4 Runner is turned clockwise to loosen it. This is backwards from most bolts to prevent it from being loosened by the rotation of the engine.
Use an impact wrench (1/2 inch works best) to loosen the harmonic balancer bolt. If you do not have one, you must keep the engine from rotating while loosening the bolt. Try leaving the serp belt on and add some more tension on the belt; then use a jerking motion to break free the bolt, you might get lucky...if that doesn't work remove the starter and insert something into the flywheel to lock it in place, then try to loosen the balancer bolt.
