davebugs Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Examine the keyway CLOSELY!!! I have one harmonic balancer left. PM if interested. I'll be unable to do much including shipping shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Guys, if the bolt was loose, why would he post asking how to hold the pulley still so he could get the bolt loose? :-p Rubber deteriorates with age, heat cycling, chemical and/or oil exposure/contamination. The constant spinning/moving doesn't help either. Eventually the balancer will fail just due to normal wear and tear. Its hard to gauge how long one will last. Your car might be the best cared for vehicle in the world and you might get the balancer that falls apart in 50k miles. On the other hand some will last the life of the car.

Fairtax4me Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 You could try car-part.com. A new cover is not much from a dealer. Around $35 if you order online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheels36 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Well i finally got the balancer installed,It went fairly smooth except for a bunch of rusty bolts. The car runs great except for one problem...It wont start without a jump. I never had a problem starting it before i started working on the balancer and the alt and batt are fairly new.I ll take a look at it today. Thanks for all the tips ....they were very helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
987687 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 When the engine is running check with a meter to see how much (if any) voltage the alternator is putting out. You could have bumped the connector loos, or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
