Re: Loose Balancer?

If your car is standard shift, put it in gear and use the parking brake. If it's Ultramatic, I don't recommend using the park gear; perhaps there are easier ways to hold the engine but you could always use a flywheel claw and have a helper hold it. Or just use an pneumatic or electric impact wrench.

If you remove the balancer first, check the condition of the keyway broaches on the crankshaft and damper for damage, and also check the key itself. If the key is a bit battered, you might dress it with a file and flip it 90 degrees.
