Is it difficult to replace a harmonic Balancer-crankshaft pully?
What is your question?
I just had my care serviced & the repair shop noticed the squeeling of what I thought was the fan built. Only squeeks for first 5 minutes then stops. The shop said my harmonic balancer-crankshaft pully was going bad. They replaced it with about an hours work for $150 plus a new serpentine belt... They said they would have to drop the engine a little to get to it. Its in a very tight spot. Does the hours work & the cost seem correct... I still dont see how it could be changed in an hour & with out pulling the engine out.. I would appreciate some feedback.. Did I fall for extra work???
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1998 Lincoln Continental. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
If they replaced the harmonic balancer in one hour that is a fair price. Most shops will charge .7 hours to replace a fan belt so the price you were charged seems fair.
