Rubber ripped out of harmonic balancer

[Vp stocko]

Hey i have a 91 vp, a few days ago my h/b started rattling and today it got worse so i had a look and the rubber has been ripped from the center and is only holding on by 10cm block of rubber, any ideas how to take it off without a rattle gun?

socket and a big breaker bar resting on the chassis rail,then quickly turn the key to engage the starter

a great big extension bar....

or have bar against ground and 'tweak' starter

I rest the breaker bar on the ground and then hit the starter for a second.Works every time.

Wich way does the engine spin? Wich sich do i put the breaker bar on the floor

Put the breaker bar on and find out

The engine turns clockwise. If it went counter-clockwise it would do the nut up tighter with the breaker bar on it. Or atleast that's the way I see it

Just put a new one on and now the crank angle sensor is stuffed

How do you rrplace crank angle sensor

After you take the harmonic balancer off, there's two nuts and some wires that need unplugging, and you are done. Installation is the reverse of that. Be aware that there are two different types of CAS.
