Harmonic balancer pulley

[alpha_omega]

that makes sense. I was only replacing the hb because it was damaged and wobbling. so I went with a power bond and since it's a. much harder car to work on. I hope to never have it apart again.. the whole steering rack has to be pulled out thru the passenger wheel wheel to get to the balancer haha. if I had to replace lifter trays 3 times I might have given up on the car before then lol.

but I get it. arp is good stuff. I just feel like I'd want a crazy expensive tq for it haha.

You lost me on the whole “…steering rack pulled out thru the passenger wheel well to get to the balancer” part.

my other car.. hb sits below the rack. not the truck. the truck looks fairly eazy. but being it doesn't have anything but a water pump on it, it'll probably never fail on me.

sorry, just saying I never want to do it again for any reason haha. so reuseabe bolt didn't seem worth it.

Yes, I recently purchased an 02 C5 Corvette and will have to remove the rack to change the ole balancer
Much easier on these trucks

only thing I've found eaiser on the vette is some top of the engine stuff because it's lower and eaiser to reach. anything under it.. ugh. I tell my friends is 10lbs of crap stuffed in a 5lb bag haha.

makes me wish i had a lift at home to do anything on it.

late reply, but was looking at the pic and noticed the low ceiling on the left. you didn't happen to raise the ceiling on the lift side did you?

I only ask cause man I'd love to do that in my garage. low 8ft ceiling but full attic above it I can walk around in.. gotta be 10ft high in the. attic, kinda annoying. if I could raise even a section to clear a lift I'd do it in a heart beat.

Why can't you raise the ceiling in the garage?

You can definitely do it. Depending on the build of your house you might be able to completely remove the attics floor beams and go with a cathedral ceiling right up to the roof. Best bet to be 100% sure would be to hire an architect to check it out.

yeah guess that's what I need to find, search out an architect and bite the bullet. I'm sure none of it will be cheap but in the long run worth it.

Make sure you plan to stay at that home long enough to make the investment worth it.
