I heard a huge pop the other day on my 96 Prelude S and the engine light came on. Looks like the harmonic balancer broke! I have attached pictures to the post of them.

I wanted to ask if anyone had experience changing the harmonic balancer in the Preludes. I can't find it in the Helm's manual but that book is very hard to search. Is it possible to get to it easily under the car?

Any information on changing it would be really appreciated.

EDIT: OK. I figured out they are called crankshaft pulleys as well coz' it connected to the power steering pump. I'll do more searching.

Ya, definately need a new pulley, keyway, and bolt. Do you even have those or did you completely lose them?

You'll also need a pulley holder tool. It goes into the 52? mm center of the pulley and keeps it from moving so you can torque it down.

I bought a torque wrench, keyway, pulley, bolt, holder tool, and my smaller belt, since I had the biggest one still intact.

wow. I never seen a crankshaft pulley go out like that before. When mine went out, bolt hole just rounded off from the key.

never had to do one on a lude but on a caravan. take everything off the pulley, ie belts and bolts. now you cant just pull it off. autozone loan a tool has a puller that you use to take it off. then new one on with a mallet but be careful to put it on straight and all the way. bolt helps. like in said only ever did on a caravan but looks almost the same!
