2004 Cadillac DeVille Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: What tools are required to service and repair the harmonic balancer and crankshaft pulley on 2004 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: The Harmonic Balancer and Crankshaft Pulley repair process needs j 45059 angle meter (J 45059) along with j 41816 Crankshaft balancer remover (J 41816), j 41998-b Crankshaft balancer installer (J 41998-B) and j 44214 flywheel holder (J 44214). The service process starts by removing the Drive Belt followed by lifting the vehicle and separated right front wheel. Proceed by detaching the front fascia extension from the wheelhouse then remove the brace linking the engine Oil Pan to the transaxle case followed by the torque converter cover removal. Place the j 44214 (J 44214) beneath the Crankshaft and remove its balancer bolt. Before removal place a suitable jack under the engine assembly while you disconnect the right Engine Mount nut from its bracket mount. The technician should start by making room below the body rail with engine assembly lowering and then insert the j 41816 (J 41816) remover pilot into the Crankshaft end to take out the Crankshaft balancer. Perform cleaning operations then inspection of the Crankshaft balancer before mounting it at the Crankshaft's nose. Place the j 41998-b (J 41998-B) across the Crankshaft balancer and proceed with cleansing the bolt threads before applying engine oil to them. The installation process requires a Crankshaft balancer bolt torque of 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.) during the first stage before using the j 45059 (J 45059) to apply an additional 120 degrees for the last stage. The right Engine Mount needs to be positioned with its bracket before securing the right Engine Mount with a nut which should be torqued to 80 nm (59 ft. Lbs.). Remove the support engine jack with j 44214 (J 44214) then position the torque converter cover followed by the Oil Pan to transaxle brace where bolt tightening reaches 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). The installation process must end with attaching the front fascia extension to the wheelhouse while also adding the right front wheel and Drive Belt.
