Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2002 GMC Envoy XL, 2002 GMC Envoy, and 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT: The crankshaft balancer does not have a key-way; so the crankshaft could turn when tightening, causing an improper torque. Make sure to follow the installation procedure to prevent damage.
  1. Raise the vehicle. Refer to Lifting and Jacking the Vehicle in General Information.
  2. Remove the torque converter access plug in the dry part of the oil pan.
  3. Use the torque converter holding tool from the J 44226 kit and secure the torque converter while tightening the crankshaft balancer.

  4. Using the J 41478 install and seat the crankshaft balancer.
  5. Remove the J 41478.
  6. While still holding the flywheel, install the balancer washer and the bolt.
    NOTE: 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.

    Tighten 

    Tighten the crankshaft balancer bolt to 150 N.m (111 lb ft). Use the J 36660-A in order to tighten the balancer bolt an additional 180 degrees.
