You saved me so many headaches with this video. I'm doing my first cam swap this weekend. Thank you for explaining it so well.
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. Just take your time and check everything over twice.
"Good lord!!" I keep reading about wobbly balancer issues on the LS2 & LS3... what the hell? Why isn't GM stepping up with a recall or something... very lame! So I figured once I got my GS, I'd just pull the factory one and install a good aftermarket unit, just to be safe... but holy sheep-dip this is a major job! Don't forget how much stuff you've already removed before you started tackling this steering rack. Bravo by the way, heck of a job, and great video! Once I find a GR I'm considering buying, you can be you nuts I'll be looking closely at that harmonic balancer for even a teeny-tiny twinge of wobble! Once again a VERY comprehensive log of step by step actions required in order to get the this component. Fascinating indeed.
Hi Craig, yeah that problem is more common with the older vettes with the LS2 engines. It does occasionally happen to some LS3 engines but perhaps because my engine is a dry sump engine it may have a better balancer but Im not certain. My seems just fine for now. Yes that is a major job and a major pain in the you know what. I have nightmares about removing that rack and not to mention everything that sits in front of the motor. Thanks again for you support.
Thanks for the video. I’m getting ready to cam swap my 07 z51
Thank you for watching and good luck to you Jason
This video is very helpful, my job is to get the timing cover off so I can replace the timing chain set. Thanks for your time in this matter. Great job making this!
Thank you for the positive feedback and thanks for watching. Glad my video helped you out.
great video well executed.
Thanks again
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks you for the positive feedback.
Thanks for the vid!!!
No problem! Thanks for watching.
Thanks
thanks
Tie your steering wheel with your seat belt.
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the tip
Im just going to support the engine and lower the subframe, gives you plenty of room to get the balancer out.
Thats a good idea and that would work easier on a 2 post lift.
@@WATCHMEWRENCH well im doing it on jack stands this weekend so hope it goes well lol
@@Motorsportsgeek goodluck, let me know how it goes.
Great Video!I am at the point of getting the brake lines out of the way. It s looks like you bent the front lines to pull them back far enough to clear the unit. Before I give a hard pull, can you confirm this is the case?
Thank you for watching and Im glad you asked first before proceeding ahead. I did NOT bend any line, I loosened any clips and clamps that held the lines into the frame or front cradle and then used a bungee cord to pull them and hold them out of the way. Dont physically bend any lines they have some play after you loosen any clips/clamps
Things worked out perfectly. I have an automatic transmission and had to purchase a flexplate lock to remove and install the balancer.The video was a great confidence builder.
Glad it worked out, thanks for watching and thanks for the kind words.
How much is a c6 2012 rack pinion ?
About $600 to $800 for an OEM unit.
I'm taking my rack out tomorrow. I've gotten it lose but not out of the car. I've done everything except remove the brake line clips. Do I have to twist it to clear the balancer?
Yes, I believe you will have to twist it around a bit.
I meant 'find my Vette GS... not 'GR'...
I knew what you meant, dont worry. Thanks again for watching.
how did you disconnect high pressure hose the lower one on the power steering pump cant fit the wrench no enough room
Hello Abdulrahman, I used a crows foot. Your correct there is no room for a wrench I had to use a crows foot. Thank you for watching.
WATCH ME WRENCH Wow super fast replay thank you so much
no problem and good luck.
What kind of lift is your vette sitting on in your garage? Im looking for one for my z06
Hey C4Love, that is an Atlas 8000 lbs., extra tall 4 post lift. Thanks for watching and thanks for the question.
Once again great vid bud. Question? When removing the steering shaft, is there enough room to pull the shaft off the splines? Or must the gear assembly must be loose? Thank you
Hi Jesse, the steering shaft on my vehicle pulled out without me having to loosen the gear assembly. There was play and I was able to pull it back and forth.
I would of helped you my friend, but I live in Fla, Hows the car running. I have a procharged C5 LS6. I am too scared to do this remove the steering rack.
Hey Chris, thanks for watching my video and yes this was a terrible job, worst part of my build.
My buddy blew something, possibly a seal, on his r.p. his vet is a 08, and previous owner fucked that car up with rigged shit.
But my buddy got it running good and fixed up, anyways, is there a manual rack for these years? His car is cammed out, he's gona get a retune as well. Shit is quick and I think all that pressure is just gona blow what ever seal it is again. Any info is appreciated.
I believe TRZ Motorsports and ECS both make manual steering rack kits and tubular cross members. Thanks for watching.
Is this the same for c5 corvettes?
I am not sure if its the same set up for the C5 corvette.
