on mine (91) the bolt holding the pulley was very tight. it should have been some 100ftlbs (on yours is double that), but the mechanic couldn't untighten with the 400ftlbs air wrench. then he went fot the 600 one (!!) and that did the job...
you also need a puller (the one with three long screws). on mine I had access from the side (remove wheel and mud cover). it's a half an hour job if the mechanic has the aforementioned tools handy. drop me a pm if you want a pic with the old pulley. good luck |

I have a 1988 Buick LeSabre and it started knocking like everyone is saying. It was the damper knocking, the rubber bonded into it had let go and this built in stop that it has does the knocking. Simple to check remove the serpentine belt and reach down an rock back and forth the pulley on the damper if it moves alot and it also makes that knock your talking about, then its replacment time. Its a $100.00 item at the parts store.

Re: 1989 Lesabre Noise Driving me Crazy!!
My 88 park avenue is doing the same thing. Took off the belt, started it up and still the noise is there. I'm gonna change the balancer. I haven't been driving it since noise started.
