Question 1

What tools are required to replace the Balance Shaft Bearing Set on GMC Jimmy?

Accepted Answer

The necessary tools for this task include J 26941 (Bushing/Bearing Remover) and J 38834 (Balance Shaft Service Kit). Put the balance shaft aside and insert the J 26941 tool to fix the legs behind the back of the shaft's bearing. First insert the short-threaded J 38834-1 into the balance shaft bore at the front of the block then push it into the J 26941 tool. Push the J 38834-2 through J 38834-1 into the balance shaft bore of the engine block. Twist the J 38834 nut clockwise with a wrench and place the J 38834 bearing along with its washer over the J 38834-1 before tightening it until the balance shaft rear bearing leaves the engine block. The old balance shaft rear bearing should be replaced in this step. To install the new balance shaft rear bearing insert the J 38834-3 onto the small threaded end of the J 38834-1 and then attach the bearing components on its long threaded end. Insert the smaller diameter end of part J 38834-2 into the balance shaft front bearing bore with the J 38834-1 positioned correctly on the end. Apply clean engine oil onto the new balance shaft rear bearing and set it onto the J 38834-2 by ensuring correct alignment. Use a wrench to tighten the J 38834-1 until the balance shaft rear bearing fits completely into its bore space. Put the balance shaft into position by fitting the J 38834 attachment.

Question 2

What tools are required to replace the Balance Shaft Bearing Set on GMC Sierra 1500?

Accepted Answer

You need two specific tools for this task: J 26941 Bushing and Bearing Remover plus J 38834 Balance Shaft Service Kit. Start your process by taking out the balance shaft. Insert the J 38834-1 tool into the balance shaft bore and put the J 26941 tool behind the balance shaft rear bearing. Insert the J 38834-1 into the J 26941 then position the J 38834-2 over the J 38834-1 after sliding it into the balance shaft bore of the engine block before putting on the J 38834 bearing, washer, and nut. Use the solid J 38834-1 nut with your wrench to tighten while rotating clockwise until the rear balance shaft bearing is out of the engine block. Remove J 26941 from the bearing to discard it. You can install the new balance shaft rear bearing using the J 38834 method by adding the J 38834-3 part on the J 38834-1 short threaded end before connecting the J 38834 nut, washer, and bearing to the J 38834-1 long threaded end. Place the J 38834-2 into the balance shaft front bearing bore while its small side faces forward of the engine block. Apply clean engine oil to the new balance shaft rear bearing and place it properly on the J 38834-2. Rotate the shaft to line up its components before tightening the J 38834-1 with a wrench. Turn the J 38834 nut to push both layers of the balance shaft until the hind bearing wholly enters its bore. Replace the balance shaft with the J 38834.
