Re: removing a damaged harmonic balancer 700 1991

posted by  someone claiming to be JohnB on  Wed Aug 1 03:00 CST 2001 [RELATED]

There are two plastic/rubber screens on the bottom of the bell housing on the transmission.

Pop them off and use the access holes to wedge a large screwdriver (or my choice a medium pickle fork used to pop off ball joints) between the torque converter bolts and the edge of the access hole. You should be able to hold the crankshaft enough to either remove or torque the harmonic balancer.

BTW, I have torqued that balancer bolt to 35lb-ft and then angle-tightened it 60 or 90 degrees, whatever the book says, as well as simply tightened it to 250 ft-lbs...neither one ever came loose but the 250lb-ft was a lot easier to do!!
