Started getting a squealing noise last Friday, and after looking at it, I thought it was the belt tensioner. So Saturday I bought a replacement, and tried to change it myself. After I got the belt off, I noticed that the ring weight on the balancer was not attached, and was the true cause of the squealing noise.
I am not sure if this is a job I can do myself. After reading the threads here, and searching online, It looks like it takes some specific tools to do this correctly (Harmonic balancer puller, Harmonic Balancer press, and a crankshaft/balancer lock to torque against when removing/reinstalling.)
Has anyone here done this without these specific tools? Are there any tricks? Can this be done by someone with basic tools? I have good socket sets, and air impact and wrench.
I don't have this tool #8932
