This video is helpful as far as the process but typically the hardest part about replacing something on your car is getting to it and most of us aren’t missing the front end of our car. Insightful though, thanks.

[@robbieshaft]

The crank pulley removal isn't difficult to get to at all

[@kevcat8655]

Yeah this particulr part is really easy to get to

[@omarcarranza8973]

Is there any torque specification to take it off or put it on? I’m doing my n55 e92 335i

[@HolySpirit_7744]

Yo I have a question…I know this video is 5 years old. But I picked up an old 09 N54 Coupe and I immediately noticed that the Pulley or “Balancer” was hanging off the block and mis aligned with the hole where the screw goes. What do you think caused that and is the engine fried?

[@luv2eatgrilledcheese]

Why did he mark the crankshaft pulley and the bolt with the silver marker before removing it? Does the pulley need to be installed at a certain position?

[@AdrianKurnyta]

I've been thinking about the same thing. I'm going to my local library to see if the AllData databases mention anything about it. I'm going reply again if I find something worth mentioning.

[@BmwMe-uh9sy]

@@AdrianKurnyta usually theres a allinment peg on the pulley so you can only put the pulley on one way. And Alldata doesent support bmws

[@robbieshaft]

I'm replacing the pulley in the next few days but I'm really struggling as to why to mark the pulley as it's similar all around the pulley, so how can it be installed in the wrong position?

[@jamesoloughlin1026]

You don’t need to mark it, he even said it if you listen back, has nothing to do with timing as long as center bolt is NOT REMOVED!

[@kevcat8655]

Correct, no need to mark

[@ahmad-ihsaanedross3980]

Hi did you replace the crankshaft pulley with an original bmw one or an aftermarket? What's the difference?

[@adriancastillo6420]

What’s the one on the top left of the crankshaft

[@EddieKM]

My serpentine belt shredded and now there's a ton of belt behind the crankshaft pulley, it's stuck so hard in there I will have to take this pulley off to clean it up.. Except my front end is still on the car, so hopefully there's room.

[@dyamimc]

I know this is late, but did you fix it? My car is stuck on the side of the street with this EXACT issue. I’m in the process of taking off the crankshaft pulley to get the rest of the shreds out

[@EddieKM]

@@dyamimc yes I fixed it. It is pretty easy to get the crankshaft pulley out, 6 torx bolts. make sure you have the torx socket, I believe it's T27 but Don't quote me on that. Could be T30. Easy job, there was so much shredded belt behind it it's not even funny. Make sure none of the belt went inside the engine there, or your crankshaft seal didn't get screwed up.

[@EddieKM]

On a side note, I did get the belt on, the car ran for 3 days, and the belt snapped again. I had a missing bolt on the power steering pump. It's a common issue apparently, so make sure your power steering pump has the torx screws at the bottom or it can vibrate and snap your belt.

[@omarcarranza8973]

Eddie is there a specific way to put it back in with torque specs? Or you just tighten it as much as you can?

[@EddieKM]

@@omarcarranza8973 You mean the bolts on the power steering? I used locktite on them, and tightened them, not too hard or you'll snap one. I forgot what the torque was for those, look up a power steering video and they might mention the spec when they tighten them.

[@LuisGonzalez-tm3xk]

Do you have to mark the crank shaft pulley? I didn’t what will happen?

[@karimamin2]

What size is the middle bolt?

[@roger5020]

hi I haveRight hand drive ( NZ NEW) BMW 2006 120d turbo diesel with broken crankshaft pulley. i would like advice on how to replace this item i could not find a video on your website that explains this. i have a question: is it a right or left hand thread on the 22mm bolt that holds the pulley, can you supply the tool that holds the pulley while breaking the bolt? and do you have instructional video on how to remove the front end and radiator to get easy access

[@anthonylockhart3654]

What is the torque spec on those bolts for reinstall?

[@modelx03]

40 mm

[@raooframadi7059]

25 nm. Or 18 f

[@Bond-yo7cf]

What is the problems was with pulley ?

[@robbieshaft]

Great video, but is there a need to mark the crankshaft with the pulley?

[@kevcat8655]

no there isn't. It's not like a timing belt if that's what you were thinking

[@robbieshaft]

Kev Cat yep I done this job. I didn’t find the need to mark anything up, but I was questioning it when I seen it on the video

[@kevcat8655]

@@robbieshaft Nice! Gonna do it myself soon, the pulley bolts have rusted like crazy. Do you know where I can buy replacement bolts? I'm in the UK

[@robbieshaft]

Kev Cat hi Kev. Yeah mine were quite rusty also but they could’ve been reused I’d say. You can buy a Febi Bilstein pulley with just the pulley or they have one for a few quid extra supplied with the bolts. If you can get this one it would be better as I was wary of the old bolts snapping

[@kevcat8655]

@@robbieshaft Will have a look cheers mate

[@vincentguida9412]

This was a big help, I just took mine of today and have the balancer coming this weekend. Found one on eBay for like $70. Mine had a bad wobble to it. I also have a n54 from my 335i, I believe the engine in the video is a n52. But it's the same process and same sizes mentioned in the video Update: the new balancer didnt fix the wobble. Anyone have any ideas on how to tighten a crankshaft bolt on automatic transmission 335i? The bolt will just keep spinning even if in drive.

[@ahmad-ihsaanedross3980]

Vincent Guida hi did the ebay part work?

[@vincentguida9412]

@@ahmad-ihsaanedross3980 No it didnt.. the crank still has a wobble.

[@robbieshaft]

Hi Vin, I'm replacing the pulley on my N47 320d in the next few days and I was wondering did you have to mark the crank or align up the new pulley a certain way? I see the guy in the video marking the crank before removal but I'm trying to understand why as the pulley is the same all around

[@docshin]

thanks so much

[@wilberhernandez970]

You save me I was about to brake the 22mm bolt

[@wenzenuf221]

Thanks guyz

[@wenzenuf221]

🤣

[@jeanclaudebezzina]

Instead of all this complications, simply use an impact gun, cuts the job to a fraction

[@kevcat8655]

But that's what he used towards the end. You don't want to go and use impact gun everywhere all the time, the high torque can damage the threads. It pays to treat the engine carefully IMO

[@jeanclaudebezzina]

@@gofailyourself2471 Exactly!

[@jeanclaudebezzina]

@@kevcat8655 I use mine on the lowest setting which most of the time will remove the bolts without spinning the engine, there is also less chance of round the bolts if you use the tool correctly
