Harmonic Balancer - Crankshaft Pulley

[marcvalme]

I'm trying to replace my harmonic balancer ( some call it crankshaft pulley ) in my 2000 i30. I've replace many parts on my car, including that horribly placed alternator, but never this. Can anyone give me some advice or point me to a step by step guide.

sure, remove both the drive belts (the tensioners for the main serpentine belt is on the top by the strut tower. then you'll need an impact gun to back that center bolt out and then you'll either need a puller or a couple prybars to get the balancer off.
