My understanding is these are to be replaced and not reused. They are cheap so I don't mind replacing it.

Terrific! Thanks again.

Thanks!

Thanks! Greatly appreciated. Followup: Then just use washers and the ac bolts to install the new one?

Bump... gosh, does anyone have a recommendation?

Hi, I have a 1999 Ranger 4.0L OHV that's leaking coolant. In another thread I've gotten some very helpful recommendations on what to look for. As a part of the leak fix I want to remove and replace my Crankshaft Pulley/Balancer. I see tons of very reasonably priced tool sets on Amazon. But...

That was Tim, the OP, that has the 94. I'm looking to fix coolant leaks in my 99 4.0 so while I'm there I'm going to replace the balancer and bolt. Apologies for hijacking the thread.

I'm hoping they never changed the actual bolt... only the part number. I have a 1999 Ranger 4.0

Thanks for this number!!! Was able to easily find a new bolt once I had this number. Tried all kinds of searches and could not find the right part. I was searching for "harmonic balancer bolt". Ford calls this bolt "Crankshaft Pulley Bolt".

Thanks North Idaho! Wow. So coolant flows through the lower intake manifold too? Yikes. Looks like I've got my work cut out for me on this. I'll add that to my list. Any suggestions on how to check it?

Thanks RobbieD!

The thermostat housing looks good. I will double check next week! Thanks

Sorry! Yes it is a 1999 XLT 2 door 4.0L OHV. I'll edit the original post. Does water flow through the timing cover?

Thanks for this. I will put it top of the list when I get back next week.

Hi everybody. Well now that I have my driveshaft fixed (earlier topic) I'm now experiencing a coolant leak. Where would coolant be coming from on the front drivers side of the engine? I don't see any coolant pipes here, so I'm puzzled. You can see the alien green puddle on the drivers side of...

Thanks to all that helped, the driveshaft is re-installed and working beautifully. Replaced front and rear u-joints. Lubricated the splines. No vibrations. Transfer case, front and rear differentials fluids are all changed. It was a challenge getting the correct driveshaft. Thanks to you, I...

Geezo Or flip it over and it slides right in. Sometimes the idiot is looking at you in the mirror.

Well crap. Bought a new Spicer 5-213X U-Joint for the rear of the driveshaft and it won't fit because the shoulder diameter is too large. What to do in this situation? I can't find a Spicer cross reference for exact fit replacement for the original Spicer 539. Grind down the shoulder? Or?

For anyone interested, here's the difference between the Spicer F2-789 spline and the Spicer F2-82-759. The splines match but the F2-789 is longer.
