Chevrolet Silverado Harmonic Balancer Parts Questions & Experts Answers
Q: How to install a harmonic balancer on V8 engine on Chevrolet Silverado?
A: Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery. Raise the front of the vehicle and support it securely on jackstands, then apply the parking brake. Remove the drivebelt, cooling fan, and shroud assembly. Working under the vehicle, remove the stone shield from below the engine if equipped. Remove the starter motor. Have an assistant wedge a large screwdriver or prybar into the driveplate ring gear teeth, then loosen the harmonic balancer pulley center bolt. Pull the balancer off the crankshaft with a puller. Position the harmonic balancer pulley/balancer on the crankshaft and slide it on as far as it will go. Using the harmonic balancer installation tool, press the harmonic balancer pulley/balancer onto the crankshaft. Install the old harmonic balancer bolt and tighten the crankshaft bolt to the proper torque specifications. Remove the old bolt and measure the distance from the snout of the crankshaft to the balancer hub. When properly installed, the balancer hub should extend 3/32 to 11/64-inch past the crankshaft snout. If the measurement is incorrect, reinstall the balancer installation tool and press the balancer on the crankshaft until the measurement is correct. Install a new harmonic balancer bolt and tighten it to the torque and angle of rotation specifications. The remainder of installation is the reverse of removal.
