J 23523-F Balancer Remover and Installer

1. Look to ensure that the crankshaft balancer front groove pin is installed in the proper location, if applicable.

The length and location of the pins must be the same as the original length and location.





Notice: The inertial weight section of the crankshaft balancer is assembled to the hub with a rubber type material. The correct installation procedures (with the proper tool) must be followed or movement of the inertial weight section of the hub will destroy the tuning of the crankshaft balancer.

2. Apply a small amount of adhesive GM P/N 12346141 (Canadian P/N 10953433) or equivalent, onto the crankshaft balancer keyway in order to seal the crankshaft balancer keyway and crankshaft joint.
3. Align the keyway of the crankshaft balancer with the crankshaft balancer key.
4. Install the crankshaft balancer onto the end of the crankshaft.




Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

5. Use the J 23523-F in order to press the crankshaft balancer onto the crankshaft.

5.1.	Install the J 23523-F plate and bolts onto the front of the crankshaft balancer.

Tighten
Tighten the J 23523-F plate bolts to 25 N·m (18 lb ft).

5.2.	Install the J 23523-F screw into the end for the crankshaft.

5.3.	Install the J 23523-F bearing, the washer, and the nut onto the J 23523-F screw.

5.4.	Rotate the J 23523-F nut clockwise until the crankshaft balancer hub is completely seated against the crankshaft position sensor reluctor ring.

6. Remove the J 23523-F .



7. Install the crankshaft pulley and bolts. Finger tighten all bolts until snug.

Tighten
Tighten the crankshaft pulley bolts to 58 N·m (43 lb ft).




8. Ensure that the crown of the crankshaft balancer washer (2) is faced away from the engine.



9. Install the crankshaft balancer washer and the bolt.

Tighten
Tighten the crankshaft balancer bolt to 95 N·m (70 lb ft).
