Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / July 2005Taking off a harmonic balancer on a Delta 88 Olds
We are trying to get a factory original harmonic balancer off a Delta 88. When we put a wrench on the nut holding the casing on, the whole balancer moves, making it difficult to get the nut loosened. Is there a special tool name or technique someone can give us as an idea about to remove it. Thanks. Year of car helps. > We are trying to get a factory original harmonic balancer off a Delta 88. > When we put a wrench on the nut holding the casing on, the whole balancer > moves, making it difficult to get the nut loosened.

Upon further observation, it's not a nut we were trying to loosen but a crank bolt in the middle of the balancer. When we try to loosen it, the balancer moves too which gives us no resistence in removing it. We have also spray a lubricant too. We have removed the front right wheel and splash guard to gain better access, breaking a worn tie rod, oh boy, more money.The installer is for a screw in balancer, will it work? But until we get the old one off, we are stuck. Impact gun, air or electric will get the bolt out. > The year of the car is a 1988 Delta 88 Oldsmobile.

Obviously the motor is still in the car, You might try putting a breaker bar through the balancer to hold it (wedge it against the motor as you turn) otherwise I agree with the air ratchet |
