page 2 its on there.

just so you know most of the links stopped working, but there are quit a few new ones in place.

Search on my name and the word "easy". full write up with pics etc.

not good enough bill.

we should replace these threads with yours to reduce redundancy.

Great write up! Had to replace my seal. Took me 20 minutes and a 15 dollar seal. When the dealer wanted to charge $175! Glad I got directed to this post. I have a Kobalt portable impact and it took the bolt right out.

couldn't figure out what ghost, my car has a ghost also, sudden very brief deceleration, any relation to yours ?

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I was trying to get some info on replacing my crank position sensor. I found but the click here takes me to a error page, can anyone help?

Check billboosts post on the second page of this thread.

I have gotten to the install and it says to torque the harmonic balancer bolt but no torque value given, anyone got that off the top of there head?

111 ft/lbs

blap it with an impact lol

found a web site Parts highway with a chart showing 111 lbs but is it in. lbs or ft. lbs?

Thanks.

same thing, its 111 ft lbs.

when in doubt blast the impact out if 111 lb is good 300 lb is better right?¿?¿

Exactly.

One quick blap of the impact is around 100-130 for mine, you'd have to have a high powered impact ot hit 300 ft lbs and be hammering on it lol.

The nut that holds the balancer on; does it undo clockwise or anti-clockwise?

Got a local garage going to replace my sensor and they asked me to find out, as they have never worked on a Pontiac before!

counter clockwise.. it's a bolt.

ok this begs me to ask this but why does it take 3 pages to answer this?











just wondering

Thanks BillBoost37!

Damn mechanics from 2 different garages have declined to fix my car despite the fact I have the part, and info from this forum to replace it. Got a 3rd garage looking at it next week, but will have to see how successful they are. Cost me a fortune on labour so far, and issue still not resolved!!!
