ZJ 4.0 Harmonic balancer replacement

[iluv83vettes]

Anyone replaced the Harmonic balancer on a ZJ with a 4.0?

My father in law's is wobbling pretty bad and I would like to replace it before the rubber separates and throws the belt and needs a tow. Mainly I am wondering what all needs to be removed to get access to the pulley and swap it.

I imagine it's much like an XJ where it's easiest if you remove the front bumper and go through the crossmember. Otherwise, on a ZJ you may be able to remove the fan shroud and fan and go at it that way, but I imagine like an XJ it'd be pretty tight getting the puller in there.

Using the right sized puller and installer, on both the XJ and ZJ, you don't have remove anything but items that block bottom access and the belt.
