How to Service the Balance Shaft Bearing Set and Front Bearing on a Chevrolet Astro?

The balance shaft and its front bearing remain attached during service work so do not separate them. Start by taking out the balance shaft then proceed to take off the balance shaft rear bearing. You should put the balance shaft rear bearing in first and later position the balance shaft.

What tools are required to replace the Balance Shaft Bearing Set for the front and rear bearings on Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

Replacing both balancer shaft front and rear bearings needs the bushing and bearing remover (J 26941) and balance shaft service kit (J 38834). Before starting work you need to remove the balance shaft keeping its assembly with the front bearing. You can replace the balance shaft bearings using the j 26941 tool to hold the legs and the j 38834-1 tool with its short threaded end passing through the balance shaft hole in the engine block. Insert the short end of j 38834-1 into j 26941 before sliding the j 38834-2 onto the j 38834-1 and fitting it through the balance shaft bore of the engine block. Put the j 38834 bearing and washer on the j 38834-1 then fasten it with a wrench and turn the j 38834 nut clockwise to free the balance shaft rear bearing from the engine block. Apply clean engine oil to the new balance shaft rear bearing before fitting it onto the j 38834-2. Use hand tools to put the bearing in the proper position before using a wrench to fasten the j 38834-1 piece. Turn the j 38834 nut until the new rear bearing seats fully in the engine block bore. Put back the balance shaft once you have taken out its j 38834 support.
