How do I Remove a VE30DE Harmonic Balancer
The VE30DE is a six-cylinder 3.0-liter engine that Nissan used in the Maxima from 1992 to 1993. This engine has a crankshaft damper, or harmonic balancer, which reduces the harmonic vibrations that the crankshaft produces when it spins rapidly. The VE30DE engine has a solid pulley that also serves as the crankshaft damper and uses the same procedure to remove the crankshaft damper as other engines in Nissan Maximas made from 1992 to 1998.
Instructions
- 1
Disconnect the accessory drive belts from the crankshaft damper. Place a breaker bar between the teeth of the flywheel ring gear to hold the crankshaft in place. Remove the bolt that attaches the crankshaft damper to the crankshaft with a socket wrench.
2Attach a gear puller to the crankshaft damper and pull the crankshaft damper straight off the crankshaft. You may also be able to remove the crankshaft damper by hand. Ensure you dont lose the wood-ruff key when the crankshaft damper comes off the crankshaft.
3Discard the oil seal for the crankshaft and replace it with a new seal.
4Place the crankshaft damper onto the crankshaft, and install the wood-ruff key to the crankshaft. Coat the mounting bolt for the crankshaft damper with clean engine oil. Tighten the mounting bolt to between 123 and 130 foot-pounds with a torque wrench.
5Mount the accessory drive belts to the crankshaft damper.
