Is there a special tool to reinstall the balancer pulley on a 96 eclipse. 2.0 non turbo. The tool I rented will not work.
You can line it up as good as you can with a dead blow hammer. make sure there is a small amount of oil on the inside of the balancer surface. then install the crank bolt and slowly zip it down with an impact wrench.

There is a panel inside the wheel well that you can take off that gives you perfect access to the harmonic balancer. A special tool is required. i had my dad make one because he has access to whatever he needs at the factory. but you can get them at the dealer. i have no clue how much they cost. I can't see any way of doing it without the special tool. after you get the tool its pretty simple to get off. it takes alot of force to break the bolt loose though. i used the handle off my jack as a cheater bar. hope this helps...
