Thread: Harmonic Balancer pulley

this should help answer,your question whether you can get away with a new bearing in the pulley or the whole thing needs replacing, depends on the rubber condition i suppose
Yes they are not cheap,
Hope this helps

Read the link on the 1st post

TD5 Harmonic Balancer repair project! Check it out.

thanks rover,already found that link.Its what led me to the balancer problem.
Just trying to find out if anyone was successful doing the repair and not the replace. Its seems to be a bit over the top paying around 1000 for a new pulley
I have checked two other td5 pulleys,one good and one also crapped out.
Mine has around 230ks,the good one 255ks and the other 190ks,also I have a weeping front seal so may as well pull and check anyway.
cheers.

hearing ya,
fair bit involved getting them off to start with, and then on top of that it's recommended to fit a new pulley bolt as well,
So do you just bite the bullet and replace with new and be done with it?
Group buy probably the cheapest option but u then need numbers and everyone is Australia wide also, more freight costs.

Yep,freight would be a killer,they are heavy suckers.

I haven't checked myself, have you checked a price from pommyland?

Cheers
