Hey all, I'm in the process of replacing a front cover due to a pinhole leak. Im assuming old coolant caused the cover to corrode from the inside until it finally created a hole.
So as i'm reading the ford service manual on how to replace the front cover, it gets into Harmonic Balancer removal, and its showing to remove the balancer, then remove the wear ring. Is that necessary? Or can i just pull the balancer, then install the new front cover, and reinstall the balancer as it was?
The motor was just rebuilt, no more than 600 miles ago, just my luck that the cover was leaking and didnt find out until after i had installed it...
Anything else like this i should be aware of? Or is the rest of it pretty straight forward?
