Crankshaft Balancer Replacement

Tools Required

EN 46337 Camshaft Sprocket/Crankshaft Balancer Holder

Removal Procedure

1. Remove the drive belt.
2. Remove the right front wheel.





Important: If the timing belt is to be removed, the crankshaft balancer must be rotated to position number 1 piston at top dead center (TDC) of compression stroke to avoid valve-to-piston contact.

3. Turn the crankshaft so its white mark (1) lines up with the pointer (2).




4. Inspect for cylinder number 1 piston at TDC. The pointer on the upper cover (2) will be aligned with the number 1 cylinder TDC mark (1) on the camshaft pulley.




5. Use the EN 46337 and a breaker bar in order to retain the balancer.




6. Remove the bolt (227), balancer (228) and guide (236).
