Harmonic balancer Buick?

I recently had my harmonic balancer replaced on my 1990 Buick Riviera. When opening the hood, I could actually view the part. It was located on the passenger side of the engine close to other pulley wheels. I googled the part and found it related to cutting down the vibration and stress which may affect the crankshaft. Be aware, I am not a mechanic or guru on vehicles. It cost me around $200 to replace which included the new part and labor. Hope this is of some benefit. BTW, I new something was wrong because it made quite a noticeable sound when starting and when it was in idle.

The 3.8 Buick harmonic balancer requires a special puller. But, if you purchase three 4" long, 6mm diameter, 0.1 thread bolts and three heavy duty washers you can use a standard 3 hole puller to remove the balancer. The threaded holes for the 6mm bolts are about 2" inside the access openings that are located on the face of the balancer. You will need to place the heavy duty washers on the 6mm bolts before they are used with the puller. The hex heads on the bolts are to small for the standard type puller and the washers will support the torque required to remove the balancer. The puller must be the type that allows an extension rod to be added to the center bolt of the puller. This extension is needed because the center bolt of the puller is to large in diameter and it is not long enough to reach the back of the through hole on the crank shaft. (it is drilled very deep). Cost about $2.50, This beats paying over $150.00 for the suggested factory puller.

How and why you would use a WBS in a project?

WBS stands for Work Breakdown Structure. It is something that helps breakdown the whole projects scope into smaller and more manageable pieces. This is also a very important process in project management. To be able to actually execute the project, the project scope is broken down into manageable tasks by creating a work breakdown structure (WBS). In other words, a WBS is a deliverable-oriented hierarchy of the work that must be performed to accomplish the objectives of and create the deliverables for the project.

WBS is one of the most important components of any Project Plan. As part of managing the project, there are many processes that are directly based on the WBS as part of the Scope Baseline. They are:

1. Cost Estimation

2. Quality Planning

3. Risk Identification

4. Procurement Planning

5. Defining Activities for Project Schedule

6. Budget Determination

So, if your WBS isnt properly created, most of your planning processes will be messed up and will be incorrect

1992 Buick Blower motor resistor location?

It would help if you told us what model Buick this is.

I am going to assume this is a Buick Car, FWD as the Roadmaster rarely kills a blower resistor.

For most common location, open hood and look near cowl for a plug near the air conditioning box just forward of the windshield wipers. It should have several wipers and the resistor itself protrudes downward into the box held in place with two screws. Screws have 7mm, 8mm, or 1/4 inch hex head.

If not: look near blower itself under the dash on the passenger side. The resistor should protrude upwards into the HVAC housing near the blower.
