the balancer in the xr is up to s**t. vibrates the whole driveline from about 1500 rpm upwards :S. my question is; is there much of a difference between standard replacement and underdrives?
also would i need a puller to remove the balance or is it as simple as unbolting the four bolts and removing it? any help is much appreciated. cheers

The harmonic balancer is the big hunk of steel behind it which has all your timing marks on it. This is used to dampen all the harmonics that come through crankshaft and is also obviously used for balancing. You will need a puller to get it off the crank, but the belt you will have to get off first which is just four bolts. If you need one cheap i have the one that has come off my motor sitting in the shed, only 114,000k's so should be alright, didnt cause any dramas before hand. Thats if you need a cheap way out of it, if not for about $210 you can get a nice Powerbond one which is the same as what went on engine.

Yep that is 100% correct. {USERNAME} wrote: does this mean if i buy a new unit from say repco i have to bolt my original pulley onto it??? Yep that is also correct, but for the price that Trick Flow EL is offering you the powerbond for, i'd be snapping it up and not even bothering with a std replacement from repco. {USERNAME} wrote: thanks for the replys
No worries mate, anytime.

Off with the belt and off with the pulley. You need to remove the retaining bolt and washer from the balancer... a big f--k off bolt that goes into the end of the crankshaft. Err... 24mm socket or thereabouts IIRC. Balancer is keyed, so only goes on one way. Take note which way the pulley bolts to the balancer, as it CAN go on backwards... which will be interesting for pulley alignement 
About $170 for a genuine ford balancer from motortraders/similar IIRC.
