Balancer
Assembly/Installation
Note:
Before assembling the backlash gear to the
•
balancer shaft, lubricate all contact surfaces
of the balancer drive gear, backlash spring
and backlash gear with a 50/50 solution of
engine oil and
grease.
1. If the backlash gear was d isassembled, fit the
backlash spring over the shaft and position to the
balancer drive gea r, positioning the spring ends on
either side of the peg.
2. Fit the backlash gea r, ensuring its peg is located anti­
clockwise (viewed from the left hand bearing end of
the shaft) of the balancer gear peg and also between
the spring ends.

4. Using a press and press bars, fit the right hand
bearing to the shaft, with the circl ip positioned
nearest to the drive gear. Ensure the inner race of the
bearing is supported when installing the bea ring.
When using a press, always wear overalls, eye face and
hand protection. Objects such as bearings frequently
break-up under load and the debris caused during
break-up may cause damage and injury to unprotected
parts of the body.
Never wear loose clothing, which could become trapped
in the press and cause crushing injury to the hand, arms
or other parts of the anatomy.
5.
Refit the washer and a new circlip to the shaft.
6. Lubricate and fit the left hand bearing and install a
new circlip in the same orientation as noted prior to
removal.
Note:
Prior to installation in the crankcase, it is
•
essential that the markings on the backlash
eliminator and drive gears are brought into
alignment against the tension of the spring.
This will facilitate correct positioning of the
balancer in relation to the crankshaft when
both are installed in the crankcase.
