To remove a stuck bolt on the harmonic balancer of a 1998 Oldsmobile 88, first ensure you have the proper tools, including a socket wrench and possibly a breaker bar for extra leverage. Apply penetrating oil to the bolt and let it sit for a while to loosen rust or debris. If the bolt still won’t budge, use a heat source like a heat gun to expand the metal slightly, which may help break the bond. Finally, if necessary, consider using an impact wrench for additional force.

How do you take off harmonic balance without puller on 1992 Buick regal custom?

To remove a harmonic balancer from a 1992 Buick Regal Custom without a puller, you can try tapping it gently with a rubber mallet while applying a bit of penetrating oil around the crankshaft. Alternatively, you can use a piece of wood or a metal block to protect the balancer and use a hammer to lightly tap it, gradually working it loose. Ensure that the crankshaft bolt is removed first, and be cautious to avoid damaging the balancer or crankshaft. If it’s stuck, using heat from a heat gun can also help expand the metal and facilitate removal.

How do you remove crankshaft pulley opel astra ecotec?

To remove the crankshaft pulley on an Opel Astra Ecotec, first, ensure the engine is cool and disconnect the battery. Use a socket to remove the bolt securing the pulley, but you may need to hold the crankshaft in place with a crankshaft holding tool or a flywheel lock. Once the bolt is removed, gently pull the pulley off the crankshaft. If it's stuck, using a harmonic balancer puller can help safely extract it without damage.


How do you remove crankshaft cover on 1998 Pontiac Transport van?

The crankshaft cover is the oil pan, and you remove it from underneath the vehicle. You saftely raise and secure the vehicle with proper blocks etc. Once raised, you make sure the engine is not hot, because you will be working with very hot oil if you don't. A hot oil burn is very painful, because it just keeps burning until you get it wiped off and get something cool on your skin. Drain the oil from the engine and remove all the bolts fron around the circumference of the oil pan. Some will be difficult to get at, but you can remove them and the pan. Sometimes, some models also require you to remove other pieces, and maybe Transmission cooling lines, or maybe even some wires that prevent you from doing the job. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If you ment to say the Camsahft cover, that is an entirely different situation. That is located on the front of the engine ie. the end where the pulleys are. To remove that, it is easiest to safely block up the passenger side of the vehicle, remove the wheel and the inside of the fender well and other flashings to expose that end of the motor. You have to drain the cooling system, and you also must remove the belt, the battery, the water pump, the steering pump, air pump, and the A/C compressor, just to actually see the Camshaft cover. You have to strip all these parts off the front of the engine and anything else that prevents access to the bolts that hold the cover in place. Even after removing all that, you are still not finshed removing things that allow you to remove the cover. The next major thing to remove is the Harmonic Balancer which also part of the crankshaft pulley assembly. When you have gotten that far, you will see the head of a bolt in the center of the Harmonic balancer to remove. After removing that bolt, you now need a proper puller to remove the H-balancer. (don't scrimp on this puller, because you can actually pull the balancer part off of the entire assembly, if you try using other means to do it. The balancer is mounted on with a rubber and if you separate them, you will damage the function of the Harmonic Balancer (ie. it helps smooth out the engines crankshaft's vibrations due to the firing of the fuel mixture insde the cylinders) Finally you remove all the bolts fron the cover, and usually the cover is stuck onto the front of the engine, so you need to carefully pry it off.
