Balance shaft install
Hey guys, I just ordered some Neutral balance shafts. Is it possible to put them in without pulling the motor? The only how-to I saw had the motor pulled. It this something that is not insanely difficult to do? I have worked on smalled engines before, but not a car's. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

I think if you take the right wheel off, move the suspension out of the way, take the fender liner out a bit, and drop just that motor mount there on that side then you can get that side timing cover off, which you'll need a gasket for, mine was rotten. once you get that cover off the balance shafts are right there and you can squeeze them just out of the motor into the fender well. the chain that runs that needs its tensioner taken out, it's on the bottom left of the chain. once that's out and the slack is there, take the shafts out and replace.
