i replaced to balancer on a 2000 maxima recently. first remove the passenger side front wheel. remove the plastic inner fender. cut or remove the belts. now the fun begins. i tried a 1//2" breaker bar, a 1/2" air impact, 1/2" breaker bar with a long pipe cheater, 3/4" air impact, all of which would not beak the bolt loose. what i ended up doing was to drill a 3/8" hole in the old balancer though the pully face, bolt a chain to the balancer and the other end around the frame and bolted it. this keeps the engine from turning. put the breaker bar on the bolt with the bar at about the 5 o clock position.put a floor jack under the breaker bar and start jacking it up. it eventually broke lose with the wieght of the car assiting. once the bolt was lose, it was a 20 minite job.
What else can I help you with?

How do you replace gasket seals at the timing chain area oil is leaking out in that area of my 1998 Nissan 200sx-se 16l?
If the oil is leaking from the timing chain cover behind the Harmonic Balancer (main large double pulley the belts run on). After removing the belts you need to remove the Harmonic Balancer using a puller, not to damage it, and then replace the seal in the cover. Inspect the back side of the Harmonic Balancer. The seal only seals to the shoulder of the Harmonic Balancer not the back face. If the shoulder's surface is not smooth replace it or it will leak again. Apply some light grease on the seal and mating surface of the Harmonic Balancer and reinstall. Re-install the belts. If it is leaking around the edges of the cover the sealant may need replacing. Also check the condition of the sealant around the oil pan. Both would require removal/cleaning and re-sealing.
