10) Go ahead and take the radiator out first, otherwise you will experience 2.1 skinned knuckles trying to work around the fan, fan shroud and radiator only to take the radiator off anyway.
9) Get a set of work gloves (see skinned knuckles reference above).
8) The “brace-your-breaker-bar-against-the-frame-and-bump-the-starter†method of breaking loose the crank bolt was miraculously easy.
7) The “brace-your-breaker-bar-against-the-frame-and-bump-the-starter†method of breaking loose the crank bolt was the only procedure in this ordeal that was easy.
6) Don’t use wood wedges to get the balancer loose. Instead, place the thin leading edge of the wedge against your left temple then beat it into your skull with a dead weight mallet. This will relieve the headache you got trying to take the balancer off with the wedges.
5) Beating wood is not therapeutic (not in this case anyway).
4) Dislodging splinters of wood from every conceivable oil and gunk filled crevasse on the lower end of your 40+ year old engine is almost as fun as forcing those same splinters underneath no less than two of your fingernails (preferably not the same fingers you sliced the skin off of in No. 10 above)... or a barium enema... your choice.
3) Determining other repairs you can make while your radiator, fan shroud, fan, and left index finger are removed is a good idea. Specifying to your local autopepboysadvancezone that you need the three bolt water pump is an even better idea.
2) If your waterpump is is working well, not leaking and has no shaft play, leave that biotch alone.
and finally............
1) A harmonic balancer puller can cut the time and effort of this repair by no less than 71%, improve your marriage by 53%, add 35 HP at the wheels, provide natural male enhancement, cure hammer toes and balance the Federal Budget.
