* If you are having difficulty removing the harmonic balancer, you can use a heat gun or torch to heat up the balancer. This will make it easier to remove.
* When installing the new harmonic balancer, be sure to tighten the bolt to the specified torque. This will help to prevent the balancer from coming loose.
