today I tried to install the repair sleeve on my harmonic balancer... not sure how it went, most likely bad haha
This was all info I got from a mopar magazine article.
1) I cleaned the harmonic balancer, and wire wheeled the shaft, cleaned it up real nice.
2) I went to Oreillys, they gave me this blue threadlock gel, said it was the same thing as loctite. (my sleeve did not come with any)
3) i put the threadlock on the sleeve and on the balancer, went to the press to press it on with a piece of wood,and it went on till it bottomed out the piece of wood.
4) then it looked like this.. I dont know if this is still good or not. it seemed to have a bulge on one side, and then it seem to be shorter on one side, and then after i pressed it on it just easily slips on or off with my hand.
by the way I also tried to flatten down the bulge with light hammer taps.
Im attaching some photos for insight and opinions!
any tips for this would be great
