    I am getting ready to replace my front crankshaft seal and sensor on my 2007 Grand Prix supercharged series III. Does anyone know if there is a balancer repair sleeve for this model? I searched and did not find much on this. I want to have one on hand just in case there is a groove on the balancer when I get it off. Also any tips or videos on how to install the sleeve if there is one. Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks

    see if these links work, this was for my 98 regal, see if the seal part # is the same, then it should work.

    it could be any brand crank seal. if they are the same the balancer part should be the same size.

    the parts store i got that at used to be a napa, now a car quest, so they still had the " books" , where they found it, then had to order it.

    I looked up the harmonic balancer again on Rock Auto and decided just to get a new balancer just to be safe. It was cheap enough ($77) just to have piece of mind.

    if you bought it, use it, these balancers do fail with age. mine did at 243k.
