Crankshaft Balancer Installation

- Tools Required
- J 42845 Crankshaft Balancer Installer
- J 42847 Flywheel Holding Tool





Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.

Important: Make sure the teeth of the flywheel holding tool engage the engine flywheel teeth.

Important: The balancer should be positioned onto the end of the crankshaft as straight as possible prior to tool installation.

1. Install the J 42847 to the starter bolt holes.
- Tighten the J 42847 bolts to 50 Nm (37 ft. lbs.).





Important: Apply grease or clean engine oil to the inside of the crankshaft balancer or the end of the crankshaft, to prevent galling during assembly.

2. Install the balancer onto the end of the crankshaft.

Important: Apply the lubricant that comes with J 42845 each time the tool is used. Failure to lubricate J 42845 may prevent the balancer from installing completely.

3. Use the J 42845 in order to install the balancer.

Notice: Ensure the crankshaft balancer is installed to the proper depth. The crankshaft balancer nose must be seated against the crankshaft sprocket. Failure to install the crankshaft balancer properly may result in improper torque to the crankshaft balancer bolt. An improperly torqued crankshaft balancer bolt may loosen causing serious engine damage.

4. Tighten the J 42845 until the crankshaft balancer is completely seated against the crankshaft sprocket.





5. Remove the J 42845 from the crankshaft.





6. Install the crankshaft balancer washer and bolt.
- Tighten the crankshaft balancer bolt to 255 Nm (189 ft. lbs.).
7. Remove the J 42847.
