Harmonic Balancer?

[Swampy]

Hey guys, I think my harmonic balancer is going bad. I am not sure if I am calling the part the right thing but I am talking about the big pulley at the bottom of the serpentine belt routing for the 2.5l. Are there any tip to go replacing this?

Rent the puller from the local parts store....don't try to McGyver the thing off any other way.  On a 2.5 you can carefully get away with pulling it without pulling the radiator, but it's safer if you do.  Replace the front seal on the timing cover while you have the HB off, it's cheap and worth it.

Also make sure to rent the install tool while you are at it. Once its returned its a zero cost to you, so why not have it on hand? At least my local place the removal and install are two separate tools.
