For 1990-2009 cars

#### Tools Required

• | J 42845 Crankshaft Balancer Installer

• | J 42847 Flywheel Holding Tool

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

Important:

• | Ensure the teeth of the flywheel holding tool engage the engine flywheel teeth.

• | The balancer should be positioned onto the end of the crankshaft as straight as possible prior to tool installation.

1. Install the J 42847 to the starter bolt holes.

Tighten
Tighten the J 42847 bolts to 50 N·m (37 lb ft).

Important: Apply grease or clean engine oil to the inside of the crankshaft balancer or the end of the crankshaft to prevent galling during assembly.

2. Install the balancer and the J 42845 onto the end of the crankshaft.

Important: Apply the lubricant that comes with the J 42845 each time the tool is used. Failure to lubricate the J 42845 may prevent the balancer from installing completely.

3. Use the J 42845 (1) in order to install the balancer.

Notice: Ensure the crankshaft balancer is installed to the proper depth. The crankshaft balancer nose must be seated against the crankshaft sprocket. Failure to install the crankshaft balancer properly may result in improper torque to the crankshaft balancer bolt. An improperly torqued crankshaft balancer bolt may loosen causing serious engine damage.

4. Tighten the J 42845 until the crankshaft balancer is completely seated against the crankshaft sprocket.
5. Remove the J 42845 from the crankshaft.
6. Install the crankshaft balancer washer and bolt.

Tighten
Tighten the crankshaft balancer bolt to 255 N·m (189 lb ft).

7. Remove the J 42847 .
