No wobble and no chirping
I just finished installing a new powerbond balancer in my FRC. The stock one had some wobble and the belt was chirping. Amazing that the stock balancer failed at 31k miles. The new balancer has Zero wobble.
I read a lot of posts about how to do it, and there were some good tips. I had the same problems several others had with the puzzle of how to twist and pull to remove the steering rack and I was worried about stripping the head or breaking the stock balancer bolt trying to remove it, but everything wound up working like it should.
Thanks to everyone that posted.
I also saw one post that said a dealer did this in 2 hours. I am impressed. It took me a lot more time than that plus more time than that just chasing a few things like the right sockets, etc.
