Balancer Belts, Bearings and Tensioner
Hi,
Yesterday whilst running in my new front brakes the balance belt tensioner disintegrated, lots all of its ball bearings on to the road and threw the belt off.
So now I am going to purchase a new tensioner bearing and the bearings inside the balancer shaft pulleys (and change the cam belt+ ten etc)
But despite having done a nut and bolt rebuild on one of these engines in the past I can not remember how to get the bearings off the ends of the balancer shaft?
Do I hold the pulleys with grips and undo the bolt with a socket? Are they on a key to the shaft for timing purposes?
I do have a workshop manual I need to re-read but real world advice is always good.
Thanks
Jack
