Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire and 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Lubricate the front seal and the sealing surface of the balancer with Chassis Grease GM P/N 1051344 (Canadian P/N 993037) or equivalent.

    Important:  The automatic transmission crankshaft balancer must not be installed on a manual transmission equipped engine.

  2. Install the balancer onto the crankshaft indexing keyway. Tap into place using a rubber or sand-filled mallet.
  3. Install the retaining bolt and the washer. Tighten the bolt to 175 N.m (129 ft lbs) while using J 38122-A  in order to prevent crankshaft rotation. Put a mark on the socket next to one of the four marks on J 38122-A.  This mark will represent the 0 degree point. Tighten the bolt by rotating the socket clockwise 90 degrees. At 90 degrees the socket will index with the next mark on the tool.
  4. Install the right engine splash shield.
  5. Lower the vehicle.
  6. Install the accessory drive belt. Refer to Drive Belt Replacement .
