9. Remove the crankshaft harmonic balancer using the J 38197-A Balancer Remover.



10. Disconnect the electrical connector (1) from the sensor .



11. Remove the crankshaft position sensor shield. DO NOT use a pry bar.



12. Remove the 2 attaching bolts from the crankshaft position sensor (3).



13. Remove the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor from the engine block.

1. Position the CKP sensor to the block.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

2. Install the bolts that retain the CKP sensor to the block face.

Tighten
Tighten the bolts to 30 N·m (22 lb ft).




3. Install the CKP sensor shield.



4. Connect the electrical connector (1) to the CKP sensor .
5. Position the harmonic balancer on the crankshaft.
6. Hold the flywheel with the J 37096 Flywheel Holding Tool.

Tighten
Tighten the harmonic balancer bolt to 150  N·m +76 degrees (110 lb ft +76 degrees).

7. Install the splash shield to the right inner fender .
8. Install the right front wheel. Refer to Tire and Wheel Removal and Installation in Tires and Wheels.

Tighten
Tighten the wheel nuts to 140 N·m (104 lb ft).
