300CELOVER

Hey All,

Thanks VERY much for your help!

I have a 1990 300CE-24 and need to remove the harmonic balancer/ crankshaft pulley. Well, none of the drawings, pics, schematics, etc. that I can see anywhere online match my harmonic balancer on the rig. Please see attached photos.

Mine seems to be one-piece, whereas all the pics and schematics for this year and model show it be two with several bolts joining them together. I don't know how to remove it without accidentally moving the pulley and changing the timing. I'm sure it's tightened to 300+ lbs torque. Also, once the bolt is out, do I still need a puller of some type, or will it simply slide off?

My year is hard to find accurate pics, info., etc. online. I can always find info on the 1986-1989 as well as the newer 1992->, but not the 1990. Please HELP, thanks.

Aw, c'mon guys! I know this is a STUPID question, as it's obviously the vibration damper. Still, why is there only ONE center bolt and will I need a puller? Or, because of the woodruff key will it simply slid off? THANKS THANKS THANKS!

P.S. I'm only asking these questions because all of the pics and info I get online shows a vibration damper with several bolts encircling the center bolt and mine doesn't look like it should, thanks again for any advice. M104.98

Sure looks like you're going to need a puller. Before pulling I suggest you mark the relationship of the balancer to the block and also to the crank shaft. You'll probably have to firmly tap the balancer with a hammer while applying pressure with the puller. Good luck.
