Balance Shaft: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Dakota. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: The balance shaft and gear are serviced as an assembly. Do not attempt to remove the gear from the balance shaft.
