Well I went to put on the balance shaft belt and what do you know, I need to remove the front of the crank pulley since the balance shaft belt won't just slip in there. I don't want to eliminate the balance shaft yet so I thought I'd just replace the belt. The only problem is that the pulley (gear) for the balance shaft spins freely, meaning I can just spin it with my hand. It does turn counter clockwise if I let it go pointing up.
How do I unbolt this gear since it turns in both directions with the wrench?
Also is there any easy way to remove the crank pulley so I can fit the balance belt around that. I do have an air compressor and some air tools? I picked this car up for cheap from a tow yard and I've had the head rebuilt and am replacing all the belts/pulleys.
Is there anyway I can check to make sure the internals are ok? I've spun the motor around many times and can see that pistons all come up and down. The pistons look fine.
This is for a 92 talon TSI AWD 6 bolt.
Thanks,
Sherwin
