You have to get under the car to do it.. Pretty sure you have to take a cover off protecting it (splash guard). Loosen one of the tensioners, and I beleive it just unbolts.. Not sure about the size of the nut though..
Any one of you ever replace the harmonic balancer in a g if so can you tell me the steps i need to do by taking it off i can show a pic of how mys look right now

just 4 12mm bolts.
slightly loosen the 4 crank pulley bolts first(with the belts still on)
then:
loosen the a/c belt tensioner
loosen the alternator belt tensioner...
take off the two belts, remove the bolts from the pulley, remove the pulley
reverse the proccess. done.
I'd reccomend picking up a few new belts while you are at it.

o really thats it because some 1 was saying i need some time of tool to remove the balancer
No tool, just take off the a/c belt, alt belt, 4 12mm bolts holding the balancer pulley to the crank, it should slide right off.

if it doesn't just pop off you might need to wedge a srewdriver behind it

When they fail it's horrible, all my belts kept slipping and I didn't know why, I was getting tired of replacing my alt belt every week because when it slipped, my motor chewed it up. The harmonic balancer was the culprit, new balancer, no more problems!
yeah i change it i feel little more power now but i remove the center bolt and than the 4 12mm thanks to all who help me out on this i will post a pic of the old 1
Your not supposed to remove the center bolt, that is for your crank timing gear for the t-belt. You only have to remove the 4 12mm bolts. Not really a problem though as long as you tightened the center bolt back properly.
