• Q: How to Maintain a Harmonic Balancer and Crankshaft Pulley on 2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser?

  A: Below, I focus on how to service your harmonic balancer and crankshaft pulley. Start by removing the drive belts, then follow up with disconnecting the crankshaft damper bolt. With Special Tool 1026, pull out the edge of the position plate and use Insert 6827-A to enter under the damper and remove it. When installing, place M12 1.75 x 150 mm bolt, washer, thrust bearing and nut on the crankshaft damper, with both the bolt and washer oiled with Mopar Nickel Anti-seize Compound or an alternative. Now, install the damper bolts and tighten them to 142 Nm (105 ft. lbs.) and after that, set up the accessory drive belts as before.
