1. Open the hood.

Caution: Before servicing any electrical component, the ignition and start switch must be in the OFF or LOCK position and all electrical loads must be OFF, unless instructed otherwise in these procedures. If a tool or equipment could easily come in contact with a live exposed electrical terminal, also disconnect the negative battery cable. Failure to follow these precautions may cause personal injury and/or damage to the vehicle or its components.

2. Disconnect the battery negative cable from the battery. Refer to Battery Cable in Engine Electrical.

Tools Required

Important: The inertial weight section of the crankshaft balancer is assembled to the hub with a rubber type material. The correct installation procedures (with the proper tools) must be followed or movement of the inertial weight section of the crankshaft balancer will destroy the balance and will have to be replaced.

1. Install the crankshaft balancer end of the crankshaft.



2. Install J 23523-F to the crankshaft balancer.
3. Use the J 23523-F and install the crankshaft balancer to the crankshaft.
4. Remove the tool from the crankshaft balancer.

Important: Make sure that when installing the crankshaft bolt and washer, the curve part of the washer is facing away from the engine block.





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.
