Yup, something else broke

[SPRAYED DAILY]

Well a few days ago the hub for my crank pulley came right off the car while I was driving. Luckily the belt saved it from falling to the ground. I just got the harmonic balancer off today and all 3 bolts are snapped and are in the balancer.

I was able to remove two of them but one of them is not coming out. I've tried everything but it wont budge. I've got no idea why this happened but hopefully I can find a way to get the last bolt out tomorrow or I am going to have to order a new harmonic balancer on Monday. Anyone know of a light weight version?

damn, tough luck bro. Don't give up on it tho!

I wouldn't get a light weight balancer man....they are a specific weight for a reason. lol.

You can get the bolt out, but you'll probably need a welder.

You must work all the time to pay for all the parts you break. An aftermarket parts suppliers dream.

That's crazy.... :nonono: more money more parts, lol.

they are a specific weight for a reason. lol.

They also installed bumper supports for a reason, but for some reason my car doesnt have any.:-D

But I think instead of buying a new balancer I might just drill out the hole completly and use a nut to hold the bolt in.

Sucks to hear about the part breaking. If it makes you feel better, I saw a Cobra on a roll back on the way home from OC. Front end was crushed!

you can get a SFI certified balancer, but they are big bucks. not sure if they are lighter or not.

BTW, how did you get it off?

Crow bar haha

Jon, drill it out and helicoil it. And when you put it back together make sure you use the proper torque specs with a torque wrench that is still in calibration.
