2006 Chevrolet Colorado Harmonic Balancer Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the harmonic balancer on 2006 Chevrolet Colorado?

  A: The necessary tools for a crankshaft balancer replacement include en 46547 (Flywheel Holding Tool) together with j 41478 (Crankshaft Balancer Installer), j 41816-2 (Crankshaft End Protector) and j 45059 (Angle Meter). Start with the removal of the cooling fan together with the Drive Belt before lifting the vehicle up for support. After removing the service slot plug you must install the en 46547 into the flywheel teeth to stop the crankshaft from spinning during the operation. To start the installation process lower the vehicle and take out the crankshaft balancer bolt while disposing it afterwards. Begin by placing the j 41816-2 between the crankshaft end and then connect a 3 jaw puller to detach the crankshaft balancer while avoiding the outer edge. The technician should clean the crankshaft balancer and inspect its condition after removing the j 41816-2 component. The j 41478 must be used initially to fit the crankshaft balancer yet it needs to be removed when finished. Attach the crankshaft balancer washer with a new bolt that needs tightening to 150 nm (111 ft. Lbs.). Proceed by rotating the crankshaft balancer bolt 180 degrees using the j 45059. After removing the en 46547 from the flywheel teeth the service slot plug installation process continues by lowering the vehicle and replacing the Drive Belt and cooling fan.
