• Q: How to Maintain a Harmonic Balancer and Crankshaft Pulley on 2000 Jeep Wrangler?

  A: The first step to servicing these parts is to disconnect the negative cable from the battery. Take away the drive belt and fan shroud, then take out the bolt and washer that hold the vibration dampers. Make use of Vibration Damper Removal Tool 7697 to ease the damper from the crankshaft. During installation, place some adhesive sealant on the top of the keyway in the crankshaft and set the key into place. Put the keyway on the vibration damper hub with the crankshaft key and press the damper onto the crankshaft. Insert the vibration damper retaining bolt, washer and secure them with 108 Nm of torque (80 ft. lbs.) tightening. After that, place the drive belt on the serpentine pulleys and tighten it to the specified tension before reconnecting the battery's ground cable.
