- 2008 Explorer 4-6 4.0
Full disclosure up front. I have never worked on cars before... this is probably the 2nd repair I have done. Hopefully I don't say anything too stupid.
I am working on an '08 explorer with a V-6. I got the harmonic balancer puller assembly attached and it appears centered. I have also left the crank bolt in to push against. When I turn the center bolt the whole harmonic balancer turns. Is this a problem everyone has or am I doing something wrong? I have been trying to figure out how to brace or lock it but this doesn't seem to be an issue people talk about.
(Changing the harmonic balancer because inside there appears to be a large metal cylinder that is inside it, loose, and clanking around. Cylinder does not appear to be part of the replacement harmonic balancer.)
