5. Remove the crankshaft pulley bolts.
6. Remove the crankshaft pulley.
Notice: To prevent damage to the end of the crankshaft when using a crankshaft balancer removal tool install a bolt in the crankshaft. Use a shorter
bolt with the same threads as the crankshaft balancer bolt. This bolt will allow a place for the tool to push against. The shorter bolt is to keep from
going past the threads in the crankshaft and damaging the crankshaft threads.

8. Clean and inspect all parts.
