Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
IMPORTANT:
  • Make sure that the teeth of J 42386-A  mesh with the teeth of the engine flywheel. See Special Tools .
  • The used crankshaft balancer bolt will be used only during the first pass of the balancer installation procedure. Install a NEW bolt and tighten as described in the second, third and fourth passes of the balancer bolt tightening procedure.
  • The crankshaft balancer installation and bolt tightening involves a four stage tightening process. The first pass ensures that the balancer is installed completely onto the crankshaft. The second, third, and fourth passes tighten the new bolt to the proper torque.
IMPORTANT: The balancer should be positioned onto the end of the crankshaft as straight as possible prior to tool installation.
