Default Powebond harmonic balancer

Hi I recently noticed my pulley was wobbling. I'm going to have it replaced. I purchased the powerbond pulley stock one I believe Summit Racing has it on sale for $73. I just want to make sure this is the correct one that I should be replacing it with. I also bought another Factory pulley bolt to replace it with. And I also bought a crank shaft seal. Is this all I should need to replace the crankshaft pulley with. Thanks for your time.

You should be fine with that, you should add two power steering O rings, when those two lines are disconnected, it is a good time to replace them.
Check & replace belts, tensioners & pulleys as needed.

I used the same powerbond when I did this, just purchased the ARP bolt instead of the OEM.

Good Luck

I just had my harmonic balancer changed out to the Powerbond.
Think about this too, now is the perfect time to change out tensioners, pulleys and belts.
They are not that expensive. My mechanic did not charge me any extra to put them on when he did the balancer swap.
The Powerbond is made by Dayco and they make the other parts also.
I had it all done to mine. Peace of mind is valuable to me.
Good luck!

Would you happen to remember the part number for the O rings? TIA if you do, thanks anyway if you don't.
