hey,

Long story short, the harmonic balancer came loose on my car. The crank bolt wasn't tight enough and worked loose I guess... I stopped the engine before any major damage occurred but the car isn't driveable. I pulled the balancer and timing belt covers off just to check for issues, it looks like the little key on the crankshaft sprocket is chewed away, so the balancer is just going to spin and spin. I've ordered the part from FCP Groton... new timing belt too, for good measure...

SO!

How hard is it to remove/replace the sprocket? Any tricks? Is this a nightmare I'm about to face or not so bad?

Thanks

Thaddeus
