EN-43650 Balancer Shaft Bearing Remover and Installer

For equivalent regional tools, refer to Special Tools : LE5 or LE9 .

1. Remove the balance shaft bearing carrier bolts.

Note: 

•	It is possible to install the intake side balance shaft into the exhaust side and vice versa. Please use care not to install the balance shafts into the wrong bores. Engine vibration will result.

•	Do not remove the bolt holding the sprocket.

2. Remove the balance shaft assemblies (1).




Caution: Proper centring of the tool is required on the balance shaft bush. If the tool is not properly centred then damage to the bearing bore and block will occur.

3. Install the EN-43650 remover (1) into the balance shaft hole. Insert the tool with the foot parallel to the shaft.



4. When the EN-43650 remover (1) is inserted in the block turn the EN-43650 remover so that the foot becomes perpendicular to the shaft.
5. Centre the foot of the EN-43650 remover on the balance shaft bush.
6. Once the EN-43650 remover is centred on the balance shaft bush, then insert the centring guide into the front balance shaft bore and tighten the nut with an appropriate wrench (2).

When the EN-43650 remover is properly installed, before removing the bush, the end of the tool should be 116 mm (4.6 in) (a) from the block face.

If the EN-43650 remover is less than approximately 114 mm (4.5 in) (a), recheck the tool alignment.




7. Tighten the nut on the EN-43650 remover (1) until the tension releases. When the tension releases, remove the EN-43650 remover and the balance shaft bush (2).
