  Q: How to replace the harmonic balancer on Buick Enclave?

  A: As a first step to change the crankshaft balancer, you must remove the engine mount strut bracket together with the Drive Belt and the Starter. The en 46106 flywheel holding tool (EN 46106) should be installed through the Starter mounting hole followed by lowering the engine two inches using the engine support fixture (J44691-B). Begin by taking out the crankshaft balancer bolt then place the j 38416-2 crankshaft button (J 38416-2) into the crankshaft nose. The j 41816 crankshaft balancer remover (J 41816) enables you to pull off the crankshaft balancer by tightening its center bolt and extract the tool. Install the en 46106 to the flywheel then use the j 41998-b crankshaft balancer installer (J 41998-B) alongside a bearing and washer and a nut to manually install the crankshaft balancer and avoid sealing surface lubrication. Begin by lubricating the balancer hub bore on the inside then attach the balancer to the crankshaft followed by a correct installation of the j 41998-b into the crankshaft until at least ten threads are present before pressing the balancer into position. Use a wrench on the j 41998-b to tighten theequipment until the large washer rests against the end of the crankshaft then remove the installer tool. The j 45059 tool helps to tighten the crankshaft balancer bolt up to 100 n.m (74 lb ft) followed by an additional 150 degree turn. Complete the process by uninstalling the en 46106 then replace the Starter and lift the engine with the support fixture before reattaching the engine mount strut bracket together with the Drive Belt. Perform the learn procedure for crankshaft position system variation.
