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

  A: Begin the crankshaft balancer replacement by starting with the Drive Belt removal and properly raising and supporting the vehicle. The first step involves removing the right front tire along with wheel then proceeding to remove the right engine splash shield. You should install jack stands to the frame while loosening the left frame bolts before removing the right side frame bolts to lower the right side of the frame for crankshaft balancer access. Put on the flywheel holder (J 37096) after you remove the torque converter cover since it stops the flywheel from rotating. The crankshaft balancer remover (J 41816) should be utilized to extract the crankshaft balancer after removing the crankshaft balancer bolt and washer. Sealant gm p/n 12346286 (Canadian P/N 10953472) should be applied to the balancer keyway before installation with the balancer and crank sprocket installer (J 29113). The flywheel holder (J 37096) should be restated to maintain flywheel stability for installing the crankshaft balancer washer and bolt, torque the bolt to 70 nm (52 ft. Lbs.). Use the angle meter (J 45059) to rotate the crankshaft balancer bolt 70 degrees further before extracting the angle meter from the flywheel. Reinstall the torque converter cover followed by normalizing the vehicle frame then securing its frame bolts. You should install the right engine splash shield as well as the right front tire and wheel before lowering the vehicle to complete the installation of the Drive Belt.
