Hello weekend chum's!

Well, we have a man down at my house.

I stripped out one of the threads while installing my new 4lber.

Anybody done this? I think the new bolts I got were wrong. Are the bolt sizes different form 99'-00' to 01'-03'?

I have two of my old ones in perfect and the damaged one in pretty snug. So I'm gonna take it pretty easy on her til I get a new harmonic balancer.

How hard is it to take out the harmonic balancer? How much is a new one?

HELP!!!!!!!

 

I guess this means your sending the 3lber monday then.

Same thing happened to me. My brother over torqued one of the bolts. I went with a caged pulley instead..... By default as it were.:o

 

Jeff.......sorry man, Monday it is.......

Anybody got a used one?

 

I might have one tomorrow, depending on how far we get with the rebuild.

 

Hook me up.......

They are 67 bucks brand new......

I need it cheap!

Thanks a ton!

 

Well, I didn't promise anything because I don't know whether we'll have it off tomorrow or not, but if we do I'll give it to you, you just pay for shipping. Like Speedin' Bob did for me, I just think its good karma to help out a fellow Lightning brother (or sister). Just send me an e-mail with your address and I'll do my best.

 

i thought i did the same thing to mine... it turned out to be the bolt was stripped.. i found this out after i had bought the $130 balancer!

couldn't take it back, so i sold it to someone on nloc.net.

take the bolts out & check them..

 

I have a 2001 harmonic balancer, but I couldn't send it out till monday, and it prob would cost allmost as much to ship it as a new one.

Also not sure if a 2001 HB is the same as the 99's

 

Thank You very much Don, but, 2001 is different.

 

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!!! Know I'm not going to sleep.

This is exactly what Helicoils are for. Put three in. Never worry again.

 

i got a 00 onw with 11,000 miles badboogernx@aol

 

I was wondering when this would happen. I have posted many times about pulleys being shipped with the wrong bolts. I have seen many pulleys come with 3/8-16 bolts, the correct bolt is M10-1.5. The 3/8-16 will thread into the hole but it is very loose in the threads. Torqued properly it will fail (as you found out). Surprised it took so long for this to happen.
