The most craziest and most convenient timing ever man.
I'm literally in the midst of replacing my harmonic balancer and crankshaft seal on my 5.2 V8 ZJ. I've have almost everything I need except the for the balancer installer. I was trying to figure this out, with little to no videos covering this job properly. Thank you for existing, I come straight to you when it comes to my Jeep.
If only you were closer I'd have you as my trusted mechanic for sure
Much love from Philly sir and keep doing what you do
Same. My motor started making squeaking and scraping noises. Sure enough, can move it by hand and mine clunks just like in the video.
@Lance Lee Yea I replaced mine last year and haven't had anymore issues
If you do not have an impact, you can use a long enough half inch breaker bar positioned so that it rests on the drivers side frame. Disconnect the ignition coil so the engine doesn't start. Turn the ignition key kicks over the engine and you will break free the crankshaft main bolt on the harmonic balancer. I'm revisiting this channel as I gave away my 5.2 '97 ZJ LTD to my eldest son about a year ago. I just broke free the on on my current 4.0 '87 XJ Pioneer using the same technique that I describe here, but I used an offset wrench with it resting on the top of the power steering pump. Most important thing about using this method is to always make sure you verify the engine rotation compared to the main bolt. Best thing is there's no long loud obnoxious intro's, information is always concise and clear, content is well lit with great visual angles. Thank You. 👍✌
Your videos are invaluable to fellow ZJ owners. Easy to follow, quick and to the point, great filming. Thanks again.
I don't need to replace my harmonic balancer but I still love watching because I learn something new about my jeep.
My 5.2l ZJ hit 165k mileage and suddenly needed every pulley part fixed except the A/C and Power Steering... you are the man! I've fixed just about every accessory because of you. You make everything so easy to do, even for a complete beginner.
Man I hope Milwaukee sees these videos! You always show using them in real world situations! They would be smart to send you products to try out! Great video as always!
Even after 4+ years, your video pointed me in the right direction. Thanks.
Didn’t even need to do it just enjoy watching your videos 😂
I Like that Harmonic Balancer tool. Looks a lot better than the one I have.
You r so good n make it look so easy not but I am glad u back on your jeep I enjoy the comedy but your knowledge of jeeps price less keep it coming 👉👑👍👌🤲🎩😭💥🎯
WAIT, did you say BRUH when you took the crank bolt off, LOL!!!! excellent video and details to go with it!!
Lol
Astral Auto Repairs makes you want to buy that stubby impact, doesn’t it?
@@ryanjones9305 YES, but I'm cheaper than cheap 😄
LMAO, " MY SMALL PROJECT FOR TODAY " for you SIR BG but not for many out there myself included. DAMN, you have a lot of NICE TOYS BG. Love that puller kit & that stubby 1/2 MIL. It is so much easier with the right tools for the job, BG JUST PROVED IT IN THIS VID. & SOME KNOWLEDGE AS HE HAS FOR SURE.
Problem Solved!! Another Great Vid !!!
Do you ad voice to your videos after filming ? I know a bunch of guys on the facebook zj sites watch your videos and have nothing but praise for your videos.
Thats on my list of things to do on my 98 4.0
Just know its a different part number and process for the 4.0
OutJeeping has a video for the 4.0 balancer install .
It's nice to see the kit can remove and install.
No bubba Joe nonsense here. Thank you for making intelligent and straightforward videos
this was literally the last part i was needing to do to update everything running around the belt. another great video. 98 zj 230k and still runs smooth.
That was easy to follow and without unwanted commentary.just right to the point.one of best videos I have watched on this procedure. Thank you greatly
Bro you make it looks so easy 👍🏼
Dude!!! I have to do this job soon ish and I'm glad this is here.
Thank you so much for showing this. I have a 1998 5.2 I have been trying to remove the pulley from but did not realize I needed to remove the crank bolt after I removed the 6 pulley bolts. No wonder it was not coming off. Thanks again.
Great!
Best magnum engine tutorial videos on the internet!
I wish my '95 4.0's balancer was set up the same way, on mine the balancer and pulley are one unit. I was on my way home from school a few weeks ago when mine came apart, causing the belt to slip off. Cost me a new radiator on top of it, because that blew up with it too. No more belt tension ment the water pump couldn't turn anymore. Instant overheat taking the old radiator out with it. Luckily that's the only damage it did. I replaced the balancer and radiator and it's never ran better. And what a difference, so much smoother now. I guess the balancer has been failing for a while before it finally rattled completely apart.
A Milwaukee man and conservative values. Just awesome. Good video
Great work man you should make more how to vids you're good at explaining. Since you shared so much info in the vid I thought I'd return the favor. If you didn't already know, the tab that sticks out on the crank is called a key or keystock and the slot on the balancer is the keyway.
very informative, clean work, well done and great camera angles to see what ur doing.. God bless u brotha..
Again, I'm so very thankful for your videos 🙏
first class job my friend.
Your video was just what I needed. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Love your videos! Got a 96 zj 5.2 and all your how 2's come in handy, you've done everything I want to do. Thanks
The best ZJ tips, fantastic!
Much appreciated my dude, I was dreading doing this job but now I feel a lot better about it.
Just a well put together tutorial. Right to the point.
Good. And also best narrator voice 🎙️👍 Thank you!
This video was a life saver (well a jeep saver anyway :D ) Thank you for including the socket sizes - huge time saver!.
Just got this in my feed. Monetized👍
Thanks for posting/sharing your knowledge! Just did this today on a 98 ZJ straight 6. A little different in the execution in my case. Couldn't find my model specific tutorial but yours was the most helpful showing general ideas. With mine I had to remove the radiator, something that I have never done before (what a mess!) but the install on the harmonic balancer was flawless with the right tool...and then the hood latch pull broke..good thing I own some vise grips and ebay has them for as little $9, lol Happy Thanksgiving, too
Saludos from.chile.....
thank you!! mine just went bad and your video is a major help like always!
Also I bought the new dewalt 20v brushless atomic compact series. Took 32 mm bolt off with nothing holding the pulley
Can u do a video on some WJ’s like a heater core and blend doors. 4.0 engines
Maybe in the future
The heater core is a monster to replace!!
6:49 yea you're right caption. Music to my ears
Good tutorial. Thanks for the info
8:37 to replace the harmonic balancer....not bad. I bet you can do it in 7 flat without the camera getting in the way.
This is just quick refrence video
Thanks was looking for v8 video
Can you list the tools that you use
Check the video discription
Hopefully you own this jeep until it's junked. The next guy who tries to remove that crank bolt is gonna have a bad day. I like that you gave torque specs and then 1/2" impacted until it didn't turn any longer lol.
Quick tip for anyone who doesn't own a study impact. Take out a sparkplug and stuff paracord in the cylinder near tdc. Once enough rope is in there you can turn the engine back a 1/8 rotation and it will bind against the rope (should be slightly past tdc and then backed up to jam rope). You can then loosen the bolt with a breaker bar. Same step but rotate other direction to install. This method allows you to use a torque wrench to tighten the crank bolt to spec. And bolt should be lubricated with oil.
Do you still have your Jeep? I have the same Jeep and enjoy all your videos. Replacing completely separated balancer no rubber and came off when I removed the pulley. I also have to replace the timing cover. I don’t know but believe the balancer being so bad may of knocked hole in my timing cover where the timing marks are or maybe part of balancer that came apart knocked the hole in it.(actually can see the timing chain through the hole. Cpl questions, do you have video of putting new oil seal in? And do you know how much play if any the timing chain should have?
The 5.2/318LA is one of the absolute best engines to work on. Im not particularily mechanicaly inclined and i have made mine go from basically being dead to having our shops mechanic say it runs better than his trucks motor lol. I imagine a jeep with one of those chews through all kinds of shit no problem
Thanks for the video helped me out!!! You are awesome bro! Be safe!
It just spins when I try to tighten it
Great job 👍 but my OCD says paint that crank pulley 😂 The fan clutch tool is the best way to remove the fan but I have seen a pipe wrench used before but people can rent this tool if they don't have one and get it done without all the F bombs .
Excellent video!
Thank you very much!
Can that crank bolt be removed with a breaker bar & installed with torque wrench?
Yes
Thanks
Really appreciate your videos, do you happen to know if there are any other cooling fans that will swap out with the 5.2? I have tried a few different ones, but they wont lay flat against my fan clutch.
REALLY?! Couldnt have done this 2 weeks ago?! Hahahah. Just went through this hellish process. First time I wasnt aware there was an install tool because autozone doesnt carry one. Advance auto does though (learned that a week later).
No but seriously I really enjoy your videos.
Bro I like this channel
I got squeamish when you put the pulley wrench so close to the positive on the battery!
Caption 2 mins in says music with the hammer lol.
mine did the same thing about 6 months ago i cut it off with grinder and just been driving it im gonna 5.9 swap it so idc lol
I'd like to see one of these disintegrate at high speeds. Always wondered how much damage youd have of the balancer went at like 60 mph. Catastrophic right? Lol
It sure wouldnt be a pretty sight
The balancer in my 4.0 rattled apart a few weeks ago while I was going about 60 mph, pretty much took the radiator out with it too. The part of the pulley that separated slipped forward causing the fan to grind up against it. Think very loud screechy metallic noise while boiling coolant steam sprays everywhere.
I've been risking driving at highway speeds to get to work with this problem. Mixed with the metal clunking, knowing this could end really bad for it, doesn't sit well with me. Gonna fix this ASAP as soon as the Harmonic Balancer Tool used in the video is delivered Sunday. Love my baby ZJ, it doesn't deserve to go through this.
@@MrPhila4 there you go!
I lost mine on freeway pulling a trailer drove 60 miles with it spinning. It also rubbed through the timing cover. Was a 5.8l ford
Hey bro good video .i noticed u by passed the compressor in your jeep what size belt do you need to do that ?
Heres my video on that
ua-cam.com/video/Isra0tVBE6g/v-deo.html
Right on man I saw the video 👍 but do you think my heater will still work if I by pass the ac ?
@@LuisQuezada-ts7zy yes, you will still have heat
how do u know if ur CRANKSHAFT VIBRATION DAMPER is bad or is going bad? will the belt make noises? or and will the belt seem to not pull and move smoothly over ?
Where did you buy the tool to take off the gear reach clutch fan tool
one hell of a video!! good job man!! so fucking usefull!!
Thank you..
Are there any difference between 5.9 and 5.2 balancers?
The 5.2 is internally balanced, the 5.9 is not
@@barricadegarage5361 , thank you very much. In my 5.9 Jeep ZJ was a little vibration(1 time in 10 sec), kinda missfire but no DTC in pcm, all ignition system new, can be a worn harmonic balancer cause of this vibration?
@@АулетМухамбетов yes this can cause vibrations that feel like misfires. Pull on it to see if it has any play or is seperated
@@barricadegarage5361 Thank you very much, really appreciate your attention.
Аулет Мухамбетов mopar for the 5.9 is number 53020182
Hi Barricade is that an m18 or m12 stubby?
Nice video did the noise change when you shift to any other gear?
Yea I have been noticing lately that when cut my 96 zj off I can hear a metal on metal scrub from that area. This has to be it.
Mine sounded like one of the pulleys bearings was going out, before it began making that sound you described and at that point I could visually see it wobbling
@@zTHyperion it was the idler pulley bearing
Went out at 7 am on the way to work
I’ve got this issue. Do you think I can do the 32mm but with a 20v impact?
If it wobbles even a little is it bad?
Besides the belt tensioner is it a pretty similar fix for the 4.0?
Is there a reason you are bypassing the A/C?
I plan on putting an onboard air compressor in its place
@@barricadegarage5361 Ah nice! Looking forward to seeing that.
Damn bro. with all you've done on the jeep, you may as well go balls deep and rebuild the 318
1:33 what are they some sort of masochist? who uses 13?
I noticed you bypassed your ac compressor. Do you have a part number for the belt to do that?
Heres the video I made for it
ua-cam.com/video/Isra0tVBE6g/v-deo.html
Why not replace the seal at the same time?
Because nothing was wrong with it.
Considering what’s involved in getting to it, an extra $10 seems to be a low cost investment in future mitigation. The seals don’t last forever, and if the rubber on the HB was shot, I can only imagine. With that said, you made the job look easy, and for you, it’s no problem. I’d just suggest to those of us who this job is an afternoon adventure, it’s something that should be swapped. Great video by the way.
@@MrKen59 yeah replacing seals is always a good thing but my seal was replaced when I did the timing chain so I wont be making a video on that unless the one in my other ZJ goes out
BARRICADE GARAGE Sweet. I have a 97 Grand Cherokee with the 5.2 and upcountry package. So I’m becoming a bit more experienced in repairs of this beast. Just replaced all the ball joints and control arms. Think I might need to rebuild the steering box next - who knows. Just wanted to say that I enjoy your smooth approach and great presentation. Take care.
@@barricadegarage5361 Imagine replacing a good seal and having the new one leak on you! lmao it happens more than you think. If it ain't broke leave it alone.
Bruh, thank you…
Air conditioning matters!
Time for an ac rebuild...
Are you serious!! Came out just like that! Lol. I had to bring mine in because I couldn't get it lose lol
I was expecting a fight but it gave up the ghost pretty quick.
Haven't used the compressor in a while I see. Does getting the serpentine belt w/o AC save on gas. I mean on my car I have no evaporator so obviously cant use the a/c. Would it save on gas getting the serpinetine belt w/o the a.c. compared to the one that goes around the compressor
My brother in law's jeep grand cherokee 5.2 l v8 1998 keeps shredding the serpentine belt. It seems to rub against the engine in the water pump pulley. The last belt was had the rib closest to the engine torn. Can you give me some tips on what it can be? Maybe pulley misalignment? What is the original belt? Is the micro v with 7 or 6 ribs?
