Important:
*
For manual transmission applications, note the position of the crankshaft balancer before removal. The balancer does not use a key or
keyway for positioning. Mark or scribe the end of the crankshaft and the balancer before component removal. The crankshaft
balancer must be installed to the original position. If replacing the crankshaft balancer, note the location of any existing balance
weights, if applicable. Crankshaft balance weights must be installed into the new balancer in the same location as the old balancer. A
properly installed balance weight will be either flush or below flush with the face of the balancer.
*
Do not use the crankshaft balancer bolt again. Install a NEW crankshaft balancer bolt during final assembly.
5. Install the J 42386-A and bolts.
Use one M10 - 1.5 x 120 mm and one M10 - 1.5 x 45 mm bolt for proper tool operation.
Tighten the J 42386-A bolts to 50 N.m (37 lb ft).
