Notice: Do NOT use a power-assisted tool with the special tool in order to remove or install this component. You cannot properly control the alignment of this component using a power-assisted tool, and this can damage the component.

3. Install the J 29113 onto the crankshaft.
4. Rotate the hex nut on the J 29113 to install the crankshaft balancer onto the crankshaft.

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.

6. Install the crankshaft balancer washer and bolt.

Tighten
Tighten the crankshaft balancer bolt to 160 N·m (118 lb ft).
