MrCjames…. Thanks again for your insight into the changing a water pump on a M119 engine.
If you don’t mind, can you clarify one question I have regarding the removal of the balancer. I’m optimistic the removal of the balancer will not be necessary, but past experience with the S-Class has shown me to prepare for the worst.
Since my tool collection doesn’t include a torque wrench with a rating of 400nm or 300ft lbs, I wanted to verify that I can remove the 6 bolts connecting the belt pulley and balancer to complete the removal from the hub. After reviewing a photo of the harmonic balancer, it looks as if I will need to remove the 27mm bolt in the center of the crank to complete the removal. I understand how to secure the crankshaft at the flywheel, but getting 300ft lbs of torque on the 27mm bolt is posing a problem.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Russell
