Installation Notes:

Installation requires specialized tools including a harmonic balancer puller (Miller Tool 9544 or equivalent) and a flywheel holding tool (Miller Tool 9102 or equivalent) to properly remove the old balancer and install the new unit. Professional installation is recommended due to the precision required and specialized equipment needed. Installation difficulty is considered advanced, with an estimated installation time of 2-3 hours.

Crown Automotive backs this harmonic balancer with a 12-month/12,000-mile limited warranty, ensuring quality and reliability for your Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel engine.
