1. Use the balance shaft bearing service (J 38834) to install the balance shaft rear bearings.





2. Use the balance shaft installer and the universal driver handle to install the balance shaft.

- First tighten bolt to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.).
- Then use the torque/angle meter to tighten the bolt an additional 35°.





5. Rotate the balance shaft by hand in order to ensure that there is clearance between the balance shaft and the lifter retainer.
6. Rotate the balance shaft key by hand in order to ensure that there is clearance between the balance shaft and the retainer. If the balance shaft does not rotate freely, ensure that the retaining ring on the front bearing is seated on the case.
