88. Crankshaft Balancer Installation



Crankshaft Balancer Installation

Tools Required
^ J45059 Angle Meter
^ J41478 Crankshaft Balancer Installer





1. Install the friction washer on the back side of the crankshaft balancer.
2. Install the crankshaft balancer using J41478.
3. Remove J41478.
4. Hold the flywheel or back of the crankshaft. The crankshaft balancer does not have a keyway so the crankshaft could turn when tightening, causing an improper torque.





Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

5. Install the crankshaft balancer washer and new bolt.
1. Tighten the new crankshaft balancer bolt while holding the back to 150 Nm (110 ft. lbs.).
2. Use J45059 to tighten the crankshaft balancer bolt an additional 180 degrees.
