JEEP XJ HARMONIC BALANCER PULLEY & BELT INSTALL ON A 1999 CHILI PEPPER XJ CHEROKEE

[@ProjectDanH]

The key to a harmonic balancer swap is a bumper removal and a step up drill bit!

[@15farcry]

Would it be easier to remove the bumper from the brackets that are bolted to the frame? They are more easy to get to. As always, great video Dan!

[@ProjectDanH]

@@15farcry not really.. I don't like messing with the torx bolts.. for some reason their clip nuts always snap off.. and if you leave those bracket on the Jeep they always cut your shins when you walk by. 🤣

[@15farcry]

@@ProjectDanH Gotcha, makes sense. Sounds like you're speaking from experience.😆

This happened on my Honda odyssey sport. I’m building a 2001 Cherokee XJ now and can’t thank you enough for all the info you put out. Many thanks brother.

[@ProjectDanH]

Wow.. on a Honda, that's nuts.. Great to hear about the XJ build! I love XJs and know a lot about 01s.. . Hit me up on Instagram with any questions!

Great Video Dan. I did the harmonic balancer & timing Chain about 1 1/2 years ago. First time ever . Came out ok🤓 Paul

[@ProjectDanH]

Excellent man! I love how they run with new chains in!

..ты крутой парень!, поражаюсь твоему терпению, и буду перенимать твой опыт. Мой zj, требует хорошего обслуживания... Привет из России, г. Тула! С Уважением, Trifon.

[@ProjectDanH]

Thank you so much! Thank you for watching and best of luck with all your Jeep Projects! God bless!

[@Spinonemaster]

Nice Dan ... and great you added the shroud, but that fan needs replacing ... they should not spin freely/easy, common issue with overheating ... relatively cheap part

[@ProjectDanH]

True! Good eye too. The clutch is probably past its usefulness

[@jjscott]

Excellent video friend, not complicated compared to other videos that disassemble almost the whole jeep

[@danhambrick6331]

Nice job as always Brother...👍👍😁💪👊

[@ProjectDanH]

Thanks Danno!

Nice XJ. Looking for more ZJ. Love it

ZJ on deck!

[@brianlook6306]

Great work!! I just did mine a week ago Monday. Daughter was driving the XJ and said there is a loud ticking. Turned out it was the balancer pulley getting smacked by the fan. I used the OEM Tools harmonic balancer puller kit and removed and reinstalled without removing the bumper. Thinking it was so difficult because the inner core wasn't getting pulled straight and binding on the shaft. Your friend should also consider replacing the timing cover seal. It obviously needs it (puking oil). Love your videos Dan H!!! Always great content!

[@ProjectDanH]

Lol, puking oil indeed! A seal would have been great. I forgot to suggest one. Sorry, I tried to keep it simple

[@brianlook6306]

@@ProjectDanH absolutely! You gotta draw the line somewhere. Thank you for helping so many of us in the XJ and ZJ family!! We are very grateful for the time you do take to make this content!! Always look forward to your videos!

[@zoexj4872]

Hey Dan, Do you think a worn balancer will cause the 4.0 to rattle like a diesel when you quickly tap the throttle? Mine is doing that and I noticed the balancer is starting to "walk" off the crank snout.

[@brianlook6306]

Also @11:30 in the video, it looks like the front portion of the oil pan gasket is not seated properly. I may be way off but that's how it looks.

[@ProjectDanH]

Yea... They bulge out sometimes.. didn't appear to be leaking tho.

[@brianlook6306]

@@ProjectDanH agreed! It didn’t look like it was leaking.

[@bwehfug]

Do you not want to replace that crank seal while you have the balancer off?

[@ProjectDanH]

Sure you could!
