Replacing harmonic balancer on 2003 C320
I've searched the forums, but can't find anything (probably user error). I need to replace my harmonic balancer (its wobbling) on my 03 C320 and while I am there I'm doing the serpentine belt and tensioner kit. Looking for procedure and any special tool(s) needed. Looks self explanatory, but I'm an old school wrench turner 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Make sure you have a very good and accurate torque wrench! Broke a tensioner bolt and learned my lesson on cheaper brands of torque wrenches.
They make a balancer holding tool if memory serves me correctly that is not cheap which is why I let my dealer do it I believe it was $150.
I would recommend doing what Plutoe recommends and reading those documents it will give you helpful information as well as PN's to any special tools you need. Once you have the PN's then you can get an aftermarket one.
