Disconnect the negative battery cable from the remote ground terminal. Loosen the lug nuts on the right front wheel, raise the front of the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands. Remove the right front wheel and inner fender liner. Remove the drivebelts. Use a strap wrench around the crankshaft pulley to hold it while using a breaker bar and socket to remove the crankshaft pulley center bolt; a chain-type wrench may be used if an old drivebelt or rag is wrapped around the crankshaft pulley first. Insert special tool #8194 into the center of the crankshaft where the bolt was, then pull the damper off the crankshaft with a puller, ensuring the puller is pressing against the special tool or bolt. The jaws of the puller must only contact the hub of the pulley, not the outer ring. The crankshaft pulley covers the end of the crankshaft, so a special pin #8194 or a long Allen-head bolt should be inserted into the crankshaft nose for the puller's tapered tip to push against to prevent damage to the crankshaft pulley. Check the surface on the pulley hub that the oil seal rides on; if it has been grooved from long-time contact with the seal, a press-on sleeve may be available to renew the sealing surface, which can be pressed into place with a hammer and a block of wood. Lubricate the pulley hub with clean engine oil and reinstall the crankshaft pulley using a vibration damper installation tool to press it onto the crankshaft. Install the crankshaft pulley retaining bolt and tighten it to the specified torque. The remainder of installation follows the reverse order of removal.

Apply clean engine oil or multi-purpose grease to the seal contact surface of the balancer hub to prevent damage to the seal lip and oil leakage.

After disconnecting the battery cable, loosen the lug nuts on the right front wheel, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands before removing the right front wheel.

After disconnecting the battery, loosen the lug nuts on the right front wheel, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands before removing the right front wheel.

Lower the engine enough to position a large screwdriver through the crankshaft pulley to keep the crankshaft from turning, and then remove the pulley-to-crankshaft bolt.

Insert special tool #8194 into the center of the crankshaft where the bolt was.

Disconnect the negative battery cable from the remote ground terminal.

Pull the crankshaft pulley off the crankshaft with a puller, ensuring the jaws of the puller only contact the hub of the pulley and not the outer ring. A spacer or long Allen-head bolt must be inserted into the crankshaft nose for the puller's tapered tip to push against, avoiding contact with the crankshaft itself.

After disconnecting the battery cable, loosen the lug nuts on the right front wheel, raise the vehicle, and support it securely on jackstands before removing the right front wheel.

The crankshaft pulley bolt is incredibly tight; use a breaker bar, socket, and special tool #9707 or equivalent to hold the balancer from turning while loosening and removing the bolt.

Once the bolt is removed, pull the crankshaft pulley off the crankshaft without needing a puller.

Check the surface on the pulley hub that the oil seal rides on; if it has been grooved from long-time contact with the seal, a press-on sleeve may be available to renew the sealing surface.
