first remove serpintine? fan belt then remove large bolt in middle of harmonic balance. this bolt usually has left hand thread next with a harmonic pulley ,puller, remove harmonic balancer.when removing this, there is a key in the balancer and shaft if a new key did not come with new balancer,make sure not to loose the old one install new balancer with key.use the bolt to pull balancer up tight where it needs to be and use proper torque on bolt
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.
You will need to go through the passenger front wheel well (wheel off). Remove belt, remove pulley/balancer with a balancer puller tool. Air tools make this job MUCH easier.
Yes, located toward the bottom ot the engine at the end of the crankshaft. Mazda used an integrated harmonic balancer/belt pulley.
Check your timing belt, harmonic balancer and the either two or three belts that connect to the harmonic balancer
They are right handed. Turn counter clockwise to loosen.
To remove the harmonic balancer from a 1993 Ford Tempo, first, disconnect the negative battery terminal and remove any belts attached to the balancer. Next, use a harmonic balancer puller tool to carefully extract the balancer from the crankshaft. Make sure to follow any specific torque specifications during reinstallation if you're replacing it. Always consult a repair manual for detailed instructions and safety precautions.
To remove the harmonic balancer on a 1993 Buick Century, first, disconnect the battery and remove any components obstructing access, such as the serpentine belt. Next, use a harmonic balancer puller tool to carefully extract the balancer from the crankshaft. Ensure you remove any bolts securing it in place before using the puller. Finally, clean the crankshaft and inspect for damage before installing a new balancer.
ALL harmonic balancers for ALL American car engines (and all other vehicle engines that I know of) are in the same place. They're integral to the front engine pulley that drives the serpentine belt or fan-belt, whichever your engine has. Yours has a serpentine belt. Some shops call it the "harmonic balancer", others call it the "harmonic balancer pulley", still others just call it the "front pulley". It's the same thing.
remove top engine mount and cut off metal lug that stops engine from lowering enough to remove harmonic balancer. Then engine lowers enough.
Big job! The motor has to be lowered to get at the bolt to take it off. If you have a welder I would just notch out a square in the inner fender well to get the wrench in. Then just use a rubber peice from a floor mat to keep the water out. Other than that its a peice of cake. Take the belt off, one bolt , take it off put new one on and tighten New bolt. Big Job indeed! You have to remove the upper left motor mount while you are supporting the engine. Then you have to remove both lower engine mounting plates which are located under the radiator. Disconnect the two front stabilizer mounts when you are down there too. Remove the two plates and slowly drop the engine to where you can see the Harmonic balancer bolt. Put a 21 MM socket on it and hit it with decent impact gun removing the bolt. Next see if you have enough room to extract the pully. I did not have enough room and ended up cutting about 1/2 inch of metal from the inner wheel well. Next put on a puller and take off the pully. Mine was on very tight and I needed a good puller. Take your time it can be done and The GL on the back of the car mean Good Luck because you will need it. My car was the 3.0 v-6
do you mean the harmonic balancer...ok..to remove you need to remove the fan and shroud assembly. YOu may need to remove the radiator to get enough room to get a impact gun and a socket on the nut to remove the harmonic balancer if you dont have a impact you are going to have to lock the engine and get a large breaker bar and a socket on the nut and then remove the part.
behind harmonic balancer,front of engine(passenger side of car is "front") balancer is large pulley down low - must use harmonic puller to remove- DO NOT use standard puller or you will destroy it (costs about $300.00 to replace)then also need to remove cam-belt cover
