How do I remove and replace the harmonic balancer in a 1990 Corolla? What tools do I need? Can you show me a diagram?

Remove the balancer bolt, without an impact wrench you should loosen it before taking the belts off. If you have trouble with the balancer bolt, rent or borrow an electric impact wrench.

The balancer is not pressed on, it should slide off, but there may be some rust on the crank, so use some PB Blaster to disolve the rust.
