Hello,

OK, the Harmonic Balancer comes as a unit, you cannot replace just one pulley on it.

As far as replacing it, it can be a job if you have never done one. The Radiator would have to be removed in order to have enough room to get to the bolt on the balancer, it is very tight and the easiest way to get it off is with an Impact Wrench. After that some will just pull off others will take a puller.

Hope this helps
