I need to change the timing chain on my dak, i think the only trouble im going to have is getting the damper and pulley off. I need a special puller right? what kind of puller do i need? A generic one? any other things i should know?

 

would this tool work??

Yep thats what you need to use.

 

Does anyone know what size bolts the puller needs??

 

the puller will come with bolts so no need to get any others. one suggestion is to bust loose the crank bolt before removing the balancer. 180 ft lbs of torque IIRC...

 

does anyone know if the 3.9 has a one peice or 2 peice damper/balencer?

 

'97... i'll bet it's a 2 piece... pull off the pulley and then the balancer. IIRC 2000 & up got the new 1 piece setup.

 

here's a pic of my 2000's...

Ok i think i get it. So ill need 2 tools then, a crankshaft pulley puller, and a harmonic balancer puller right?

 

No. Generally the puller will pull teh crank pulley off as well as teh dampener. (and it can be used on steering wheels also)
