How to Properly Service and Replace a Harmonic Balancer on GMC Acadia?

The crankshaft balancer replacement procedure needs the removal of four essential components: Engine Mount strut bracket, front Engine Mount, rear Engine Mount, starter. Lower the engine to a two-inch point by using the engine support fixture (J44453-B) while you have the en 46106 flywheel holding tool (EN 46106) installed through the Starter mounting hole. The procedure starts by uninstalling the crankshaft balancer bolt after which the j 38416-2 crankshaft button (J 38416-2) is inserted into the crankshaft nose so you can install the j 41816 crankshaft balancer remover (J 41816) to extract the balancer from the crankshaft. The installation procedure involves putting the en 46106 on the flywheel followed by j 41998-b (J 41998-B) and nut procedures for the crankshaft balancer with no seal lubrication for crankshaft front oil or sealing parts. Place the crankshaft balancer on the shaft and thread the j 41998-b until the tool reaches at least 10 threads into the balancer hub bore. After this, apply pressure for the installation of the balancer. After the j 41998-b reaches the large washer butts against the crankshaft end use it to drive out the j 41998-b. Then install the crankshaft balancer bolt with 100 n.m (74 lb ft) torque followed by 150 degree additional tightening with j 45059. The procedure requires uninstalling the en 46106 before you reinstall the Starter followed by placing the engine into position using the engine support fixture (J44453-B) and reattaching the rear Engine Mount together with the front Engine Mount and Engine Mount strut bracket and Drive Belt.
