I am looking at buying a 1997 chevy camaro that needs the harmonic balencer replaced. Just wondering If this is a hard task or a serious problem. The engine is a 3.8L V6. Thanks
A Harmonic balancer is just basically a big weight that balances the crankshaft. It is not hard to replace ..although you will need a harmonic balancer puller(steering wheel/gear puller) and basic hand tools.......What makes you think it is bad....I would have it looked at by a mechanic before buying...just my 2 cens worth
