What is the torque spec for the 3 bolts for the pulley? The center / crank bolt is 74 ft lbs but you didn't mention the others. When trying to torque the center crack bolt and holding the tension on like you showed the pulley still rotates. How do you stop it from rotating? I have 1999 Tahoe 4x4 (old body style like this one)
Going a step further. Can you pull the balancer to replace a front main seal with the same amount of items removed as you show here or do you need to pull the radiator?
I have a 2007 GMC Sierra 1500 Classic 4.3L 2 X 4 7G237766 is the VIN There is a squeaky sound coming from under my hood I noticed a slight wobble on the Crankshaft Pulley right away I replaced the Crankshaft Pulley with a new one and STILL a less slight wobble. But the squeak sound was still happening... Took a tube and used in like a stethoscope one side to my ear, the other I placed over or near each pulley listening to which pulley was making the squeaky sound. It was NOT coming from my Crankshaft Pulley...but did find a new problem, with that.... The sound was coming from my Water Pump, the sound was heard very loud in this tube I was using as a stethoscope. So I will wait for the water pump to fail waiting to see Antifreeze drip on the floor. So with a brand new Crankshaft Pulley installed What could cause it to wobble? Is it Possible the harmonic balancer is causing the Brand New Crankshaft Pulley to wobble? What if: I changed the crankshaft pulley and the harmonic balancer and it STILL has a wobble? Then there is a problem with my Crankshaft itself? YIKES...$$$$ I am correct?
An easy way to get the center bolt off is to hold it with a socket wrench attached or breaker bar, and have a buddy turn over the engine while you hold the breaker bar. Works like a charm.
I have a horrible squeal coming from one of my belt pulleys. I replaced the tension assembly, the idler pulley and still have that noise. It sounds like it could be coming from the crankshaft pulley area. Does the crankshaft have an bearing?
+Justin Richards thank you for your question. The only torque specs we have for this video is Torque the center crankshaft pulley bolt to 74 foot-pounds.
Is there a bearing that you can change out as well? My pulley is wobbling pretty good so I'm not sure Whats the other pulley just above and to the right of the crank pulley? It a large pulley as well
+Troy Slyker Thanks for watching! There is no bearing that the pulley attaches to, it just attaches to the crankshaft. The one that sits directly above the crankshaft pulley is the water pump! 1aauto.com

Does this effect the timing In any way?
Do the pulley bolts need threadlock applied before reinstall?
Is there any other suggestions on trying to remove the center harmonic balancer bolt? I have tried air tools and strap wrench but I was unsuccessful
So you guys are not going to give us the torque specs for the 14mm outer bolts?

Do the 1995 models also use harmonic balancers?

+Nathan Talbott Thanks for the feedback!
The starter can handle the torque ?

+soldier4christ soldier4christ Yes crankshafts have bearings! Thanks for the question.
any luck im having the same problem
Is the crankshaft sensor behind it?
At this time, we do not have schematics of your vehicle. +unknown69813
No tq spec on the 3 bolts eh?
