- In this video I go over how to remove and install a front crankshaft pulley and harmonic balancer. This video will show several different vehicles. I discuss the problem with the front crank seal that keep leaking because of improper end play at the crankshaft on a PT Cruiser.
I have to say this is one of the best videos I’ve seen on simply putting on a crank pulley and taking it off and putting it on good job it help me a lot thanks
Great video man, it’s rare these days to find a common sense or how I call it the good sense mechanic. Kudos to you. 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching my friend.
Nice to see you showing people how to do it the correct way.
Really smart and I give you props for that awesome way to hold the puller in place. Thank you
Thanks for watching bud. Please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel. Thanks
You just saved me $300 dollars replacing the harmonic balancer myself. Always do my own mechanics; figure I would rather spend money on tools because then I have something to keep. I am off to find the pulley puller removal tool and make an installer one. You rock!
I do my own work too. I actually have to do my harmonic balancer I don’t have the special too tho what did you use
Thank you, I’ve gotta do this tomorrow and your video really helped!!!!!!
Thanks for watching bud. Please remember to thumbs up the video, thanks
You could just use a big 3” screw hose clamp in place of the wire
Very nice information! My PT crusier is leaking oil behind the harmonic.
Hey bud, you could have a walking crankshaft..you could need thrust bearing..you need to check end play of that crank
Where did you get the extra pieces to put the pulley back on,I don't wna spend 100 plus when all I have to do is find a few pieces for cheap
Great instructional video, Thank You!
Thanks for watching bud, please thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Good hack. I would try a big hoseclamp to force those puller arms together
Great, helpful information

Hello, I have a 2015 jeep wrangler and notice a slight wobble in the harmonic balancer when running. I am curious what exactly justifies that replacement is needed? I'm assuming it shouldn't have any wobble when running, but I haven't felt any play in it when trying to move it. Any help is appreciated! I am subscribed! Keep up the awesome videos!
Hello my friend, you left off the mileage so im assuming this a high mileage Jeep. Yes, we replace those often for that reason. It could give you problems down the road so if I see it, I always recommend replacing it.
@Online Mechanic Tips thank you very much for the swift reply. I apologize, it has about 135k miles on it and am getting into the territory of having to change out more and more lately. I have recently been having an issue that I cannot figure out and maybe you can help if you have the time. I can drive down the road and get a random traction control light come on. Sometimes it will stay until I turn off the engine, sometimes it will go away while driving. I also have a crankshaft code (erratic performance or something. I'd have to scan it again to see) and I am now hearing an odd rattle like noise from the engine compartment somewhere that almost sounds like an idler pulley bearing going bad, but I have tested to see, and that is not the case. It is not a rocker tick either. I am beginning to think it is something internal. Brakes and wheel speed sensors are all recently replaced and good. Tire pressure is all even, and hubs and suspension is all tight. Any help or input is helpful. Thank you!
Did you you ever figure out what the problem was with your car
Actuallly, masters are sort of designer, inventor, problem solutioner, stephold builder.
Thank you Sir. I used your video to remove mine. I will shout you out in my video also and post a link to this video if you don't mind. Much💜
Thats whats up my dude
@@OnlineMechanicTips
Now see. Lol I'm not a dude. I'm a woman mechanic. Much💜
@@Missnewgen omg, im so sorry..I didnt no...Good thing you cool.
@@Missnewgen I think you should be a guest on my livestream and lets talk about some cars.
Thank you sir.
Very good 👍🏻 thanks 😊
Thanks for watching bud. Please thumbs up the video and consider subscribing, thanks
Good video. We'll explained. Detailed and good view. Where were you at when I had tech class in high school!😄
Hello Sir I got a question?You seem really cool an down to earth
Now I drive a 2011 Toyota Yaris an I was told my harmonic balancer was wobbling like moving from side to side,also it seems as tho the engine was like shaking an there was this loud squeaking noise once the car gets turned on,
Can u please give me a idea of what that may be?I am scared to drive it with that noise....DOES A BAD HARMONIC BALANCER MAKES A LOUD NOISE,ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE THE BELT IS SLIPPING OR BAD,BUT THE NOISE IT MAKES IS LOUD....
Yes, a wobbling HB will cause all the symptoms you mentioned and should be replaced asap. Depending on if its pressed fit or key fit will dictate how much it will cost to get replaced. Most this is not a good look to be driving like this because it will come apart all together and could ruin other parts..Sorry you having this issue my friend
@@OnlineMechanicTips Thank u so much...I just had it looked at a couple of days ago...my mechanic told me they have to drop the engine,now is that true?Or must just did want to fix that part?I really do not know the cost,what would u charge to repair that
What size engine equipped in this vehicle?
@@OnlineMechanicTips I believe 1.5
It is the same for 2000 oldsmobile Silhouette?
No
@@OnlineMechanicTips No mechanic has been willing to work on my vehicle. SO I am trying to figure out how to do mine. Any suggestions would help
I am just learnings this stuff. What are those power tools calls so I can buy some, lol.. Looks like a normal ratchet set would be a little more challenging to get the job done.
Pls help me mine fell off 😭 when I was turning i xouldnt turn the wheeler steering the truck
Hey JT, what's happening. Slightly off topic. '06 Cruiser 143k, vibration at idle, in Park same a neutral. Have just done plugs, wires, coil pack, valve cover and all manifold gaskets, cleaned throttle body, idle air control, PCV, fuel pump, O2 sensor, upper and lower torque struts all as regular maintenance. Vibration got slightly worse. Scan too showsl idle called for same as actual idle speed +-10 rpm.
So, my tech I'd down to either motor mounts (center (replaced at 100k not OEM), or tranny mount) or balance shaft. Have you seen any balance shaft issues on PT's? My thought is do the center mount first.
I did hit a curb on drivers side hard enough to crack a wheel if that might have damaged the tranny motor mount.
What do you think? Thanks a ton man.
Great video bro,
I have a question how much room should be between the harmonic balancer pully and the wall it slides into if this is not pushed in enough can it stop your car from starting?
What kind of car is this? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
@@OnlineMechanicTips I’m definitely subscribed to the channel for a while now.. It’s 2014 Ram1500
Good video
How do you know when it's the crank shaft pulley.
New subscriber 🔥🔥🔥
Why thank you my friend
Handy info thank you
Where did u get that harmonic installer
Its a shop tool. But you can make one as I explained in the video. Just find song bolt same thread pattern as the crank bolk
i have 2013 camaro ss ls3 i take it off forgot to make marks 😥 is no key so i dont know where exactly it was 😬 so can go at any posistion so is that ok to just put it on at any position
That just means its pressed fit..not by timing, so its ok to press it on at any position
@@OnlineMechanicTips nice!! thank you for quick reply 👍
Thanks JT
JT. there’s that Harbor Freight impact I have been curious about your use of that item. How’s it working out for you in the shop? Thanks for the video!!
I have the Central Neumatic air gun. Works great. Just always have to have it above 100psi to do anything.
What is the torque specs applied to the pulley?
Maybe you can help me figure out my problem with my car
How did you make the harmonic balancer tool?
Home depo. Get a long bolt same treads as the crank bolt. Get a nut that will screw onto the bolt and just use a washer to act as a bearing..thanks for watching..Are you subscribed to the channel yet?
Yes
Thanks bud
Best Darn Video I can find in showing how to / how to make your Install tool!! 209k miles on my 2005 , 3.8 L Town & Country van
Thanks
Thanks for watching bud. Please remember to thumbs up the video and subscribe to the channel, thanks
Whats the tool part number and where did u buy it at
this just a typical 3 jaw puller..Any 3 jaw puller would work
What’s that tool called you used to put back on the harmonic balancer?
A pulley installer..Nothing special about it..in fact you can make one
Do you have a video on how to remove it bro? I use the 3 jaw puller and as I was pulling it broke one side of my pulley :/
This video shows how it was removed using a 3 jaw puller buddy
What kind of car is this?
Hey bud the first car was a dodge Charger with the 3.5. the second was a PT Cruiser. Thanks for watching, please subscribe to the channel for me, thanks. I see we have similar interests with cars and fitness.
Online Mechanic Tips liked and subscribed brotha!
Gr8 job on your hack😎
Why not drive pulley with the old bolt nd then simply just take old bolt out when almost to end nd take aout bolt nd turk it in with new bolt !! Thats how i do mines never had issues and allways installed pulley str8 no wobbeling
Where can I get that tool?
Which tool you speak of? Some of the install tools can be made. Also are you subscribed to the channel?
So i really need an installer tool bruh I’m pissed
Hey bud, its recommended to use an installer..you can something go the old fashion route and tap pulley on with a hammer and use bolt to drive pulley on..what kind of car is this? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
Terrible demonstration
I suggest you make a video and demonstrate how it should be done. If you can't or won't, do you know what that makes you?
