Sure do make it look easy. I love how you go step-by-step. I always go to your videos before I do something because I know that they’re gonna be clean to the point and have steps.

[@jlmarshall63]

Helpful hint: at 3:42, look in the center of the puller. The octagon there is for a 15/16 wrench. Put your wrench and ratchet on the same side. Push against one while pulling on the other. That lets 1 person do it without removing the undercarriage and inspection cover. Great video

[@erickuribe9860]

Thank you for the video very helpful.👍

[@ktmkeith13]

Thanks for the Vid 😎

[@cruddygamer1524]

Looks very similar to the front of my '05 Avalanche 5.3. I'm assuming the torque specs are the same? I'm finding conflicting answers online and people basically arguing over how to install these things.

[@Es-Corner]

How do you take out the harmonic bolt without turning over the engine

[@nathanwesson8423]

That installer bolt where can I find one? It's the long reach one right??

[@VideoNash]

thanks

[@bryontharp5790]

While your there should put a new seal in

[@JohnRott]

You can tell these guys already took this pulley off cause it’s not that easy when it’s original I’m sure it’s been off before not that long ago cause I did it on mine and it was a nightmare just getting the center bolt out I had to use a 3/4 inch impact gun air gun too not a garbage battery gun. Then had to work hard to get the pulley off with the puller

[@kcroc44]

Can this be done solo

[@Okielogian]

So the Haynes manual and an online OEM manual states 37 ft/lb plus 140 deg... does it really matter

[@odiarroyo6144]

Why not just live the old 1 at 240
The new 1 is just at 57
Is better 240 right?

[@IndustMachWerksofTX]

The bolt is torque to yeild, one time use bolt.

[@Whitebassonly]

@KELN Nostalgia that would be one hell of a mistake to break that off at 240ftlbs in there. I’d be buying a new crank 😂
Good idea to just use two new bolts.

[@marsman69mh]

Don't you have to worry about the timing mark?

[@whisperproductions9880]

Missed some stuff. You guys need to be more detailed!
