2008 Chevrolet Colorado Harmonic Balancer Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the harmonic balancer on 2008 Chevrolet Colorado?

  A: The first step in crankshaft balancer replacement requires removal of both cooling fan and Drive Belt followed by a process of vehicle lifting and supporting. The service slot plug should be removed while the crankshaft stays stationary because the lack of key-way prevents the crankshaft from rotating. Using the en 46547 tool on the Flywheel teeth positions the vehicle while you need to dispose of the crankshaft balancer bolt. The installation process starts by putting the j 41816-2 into the crankshaft end while steering clear of the balancer edge and applying a 3 jaw puller to remove the balancer followed by the j 41816-2. The en-48034 helps with new crankshaft balancer installation after which you must remove this tool. The crankshaft balancer washer combined with a new bolt requires installation according to the recommended torque of 150 n.m (111 lb ft) with an additional 180 degrees torque using the j 45059 tool. Raising the vehicle once more allows the service slot plug installation while you eliminate the en 46547 from the Flywheel teeth followed by lowering the vehicle before reattaching the Drive Belt and cooling fan.
