Harmonic Balancer Seal?

[dka99burb]

So, I assume that when changing the harmonic balancer we should change the front crank seal? If so, what is it called and what is the part number? I have some oil leaking from that area now and I plan to change the HB next week. It's not bad but I think it should be done while I am there.

Also, do I have to pull the radiator to pull the HB?

Thanks.

Radiator stays in unless you want to clean it...

Good. How about the seal?

I just recently replaced my HB with a Fluid Damper. I learned some tips from members here, and from my own experimenting, that seemed to make things a lot easier. I took a few pics so I guess I better get busy, post them, and do a write up on the job.

Ya I would change it w/ a quarter million miles on it. A/C Delco 29601.

It is called Crankshaft Seal.

Autozone have them $5.99 for the same Timken from RockAuto.

Cool. Thanks.
Week is not starting out well. Was home with sick child today. I hope I get time to do it this week!
