I just bought a 2006 C6 from a dealership. It only had 48,000 miles and in pristine condition. A few days later I noticed a rhythmic squeaking from under the hood so I took it back to the dealership and they said the harmonic balancer needed to be replaced. I did buy a warranty so I was covered. They said the part in only $260 but 6 hours of labor. After watching this video, I see why. WOW. Great video by the way. Really informative.

I just did the job today. My c6 has had a wobble since I bought it back in like 2018, it’s my wife’s car now and it got to the point of the belt slipping. I was absolutely blown away at how easy it was to do doing your method of dropping the subframe and I was equally blown away after watching videos of people pulling the steering rack, it seriously makes absolutely no sense to do it that way. I had the crank pulley off in about an hour from when I started and that was taking my time. There was no fuss with anything. All the bolts were a straight shot with an impact. I also replaced the radiator at the same time as it’s had a small leak for ever now, no joke the radiator was much more of a pain in the ass then the pully was.

I did this method yesterday on my 2011 Grand Sport. The GS has a steering cooler that is directly in front of the HB bolt, and the lines have very little slack to play with. I got it in the end at the cost of bending some cooler fins. I tried a 2’ breaker bar with a 2’ extension and couldnt break the HB bolt free with the limited ground clearance from using jack stands. Used a IR cordless impact to break it free and this is where I ended up damaging the oil cooler fins. I used a scissor jack and a block of wood to support and raise the motor’s oil pan while dropping the sub frame. All in all, well worth the 8hr jack stand effort vs paying the premium west coast price on an HB install

@Motorsportsgeek Жыл бұрын
@@Alvette58 No you support the engine and lower the subframe with the rack and all the lines attached, there is plenty of length in the lines to get the subframe low enough. If you have a base model, it won't concern you but the oil cooler lines will be your limit on how low you can drop the subframe or just disconnect them. Use two jack minimum on the subframe once the engine is supported, put one jack on each corner and just gradually lower each side at a time till you have enough access to the HB. I had enough room to get my HB puller and install tools with the subframe lowered about 4 inches from the frame rails. Torquing the bolt to 235 ft/lbs was the most challenging part and that's ARP's torque spec, the oem style bolt is 240 ft/lbs

For non supercharged applications pining the crank is not necessary. This is an issue with the balancers internal rubber degradation from the factory.
@rustler089 ай бұрын
That's bullshit. The harmonic balancer is a multi-piece unit that uses a type of butyl/rubber to keep the pieces together. As time passes by, that piece slowly starts to fail and that's why you get this wobble. Pinning the crankshaft will not fix that, and anyone that tells you otherwise is a clueless idiot that shouldn't be working on your car.
