Hi to all -

I have identified the screeching noise and voltmeter drop, followed by whiff of burning rubber, as a failing harmonic balancer. (Car has estimated 260K miles.)

It seems to me that the job is not too long. I have the crank counter-hold tool for the bolt, which should help.

I can see removing fan shroud, fan/clutch assembly, alternator and a/c drive belts, and nothing more, to get at the crank pulley.

If you can make corrections to that plan, I would appreciate your comments. I expect to do the job in about 2 hours, unless there are more things to remove.

Thanks in advance, as always,

Bob
