RE: [Chrysler300] Damper report

["Bob Jasinski" <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Larry,
 
Just following your emails on damper removal, and am curious as to the
feedback on a couple of questions you posed, since the answers were not
(evidently) posted on the server.
 
1.  How did you end up removing the crankshaft nut without the crank
turning?  I read that a small pneumatic air wrench would work, but question
just how small.  3/8" drive?  1/2 drive?  I would think a 3/8" air wrench
would not have adequate torque to do the job, and a 1/2" might not fit
without removing the radiator.
 
2.  What type of puller did you use to get the damper off?  I've heard you
can use a steering wheel puller but never tried it.
 
2. According to the service manual, you need to re-torque the crankshaft
bolt to 135 ft/lbs. How do you plan on holding the crank from moving when
you re-torque the nut?  Any clever suggestions come forward on that? 
 
Enquiring minds want to know, I may need to do the same thing.
 
Bob J

The oem damper has a 3/16 inch gap from factory assembly which allowed it to
rub the motor and make the racket that announced its eminent death and the
timing mark has rotated almost 180 degrees from factory. Sending it off to
Damper Dudes in Anderson CA. Will report the outcome.
