harmonic balancer boltmannasugar 03-28-2007, 09:26 PM I have an 89 Le Sabre, and I need to take off the bolt holding it on and it will not come off. Me and my brother used a 5 foot cheater bar and the bolt still will not break loose. any suggestions? Thank you D.J. 3echo9 03-28-2007, 09:40 PM Yes, this bolt can be a pain. I added a three foot pipe to my breaker bar and lowered the car, using it's weight, to break the bolt free. Good luck. mannasugar 03-29-2007, 08:24 AM I do not have the cheater bar any more. Is it possible the bolt has reverse threads? D.J.

Is it possible the bolt has reverse threads? D.J. Nope, it's not reversed threaded. I thought the same thing. You don't have a cheater bar....ok. I didn't either. You can look for any hollow piece of steel tubing. I used the handle from my jack and slipped it over my 1/2 inch drive handle. Be sure to isolate the balancer from moving. I took off the little plate on the tranmission housing and wedged a screwdriver in the teeth of the wheel. Good luck...you can do it!! wrightz28 04-02-2007, 11:06 AM Impact gun :thumbsup: vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
