So i need to replace my harmonic balancer sometime soon.... it's gotten a little wobbly I've hear you need a special tool from a dealership to do this? I guess this is a common problem on these cars, idk. Any one know what to expect for the change? or will i have to take my car to a dealership..cuz i frown on doing that.

[Bobby Light]

rent a balencer puller, and balencer installer tool, do it yourself.

[Andy]

where can i rent these from?
how hard is it to change them out?

[Andy]

any brand of balancer you would recommend?

[Bobby Light]

you can rent the tools at the auto parts store, they just require a deposit, then you get your deposit back.

if yours is stock, id just replace it with another stock one.

[Andy]

sounds good thanks for the help

I'd spend the extra money and get a good balancer,it's a good investment. **** getting a stock one.

[Andy]

well it's a stock motor...for now and a year or two. idk do your really think it's work the extra cash?
I'm not in a hurry to do this anytime soon but i'll let you know,Rabbid, thanks.

Ya,a junk balancer is torment on bearings at high rpms. A better quality balancer is gonna be more stable at high RPM. It's just one less thing you have to buy for your motor later,also.
I would suggest getting one that you can change wieghts on,that way if you build a 347 or something of the sort,you can retain the balancer w/a simple balancer wieght change.
