Installing the vibration damper (or harmonic dampener) was very easy. I rented the standard installer kit from Advance Auto parts. After cleaning the crank 'snout' and adding a little bit of anti-seize, the damper slid right on with the tool. Make sure to remove the extra pulley for the power steering if so equipped. Add it after you have the damper bottomed out. If unsure, look at it sideways and make sure the damper pully part where the V-belt goes s in plane with the generator.

Good luck, don't sweat this one.
