Go to autozone.com/repairinfo for complete instructions, keep in mind you will need an impact gun to get the bolt off and a puller designed to remove GM balancers.

Why cheap out over $50 and do it again soon. The balancers are a pretty common problem on the 91-95 VIN-L 3800's, and your chances of getting a bad one from the boneyard are pretty high.

Mine was easy IF you have two people, one to hold a wide bladed screwdriver between the flywheel and housing to keep crankshaft from turning when removing or installing the main bolt that holds balancer on.
However my bonny is a 92.
