Can anyone help me out with the correct size socket to use on my harmonic balance bolt for my 95 grand Cherokee orvis 5.2?

If the harmonic balancer (also known as the crankshaft pulley) is rubbing against the timing cover, it's important to address this issue promptly to prevent further damage to your engine. Here are some steps to help you resolve the problem:
1. **Check for Misalignment:** Ensure that the harmonic balancer is properly aligned with the crankshaft and that it's seated correctly. A misaligned or improperly installed balancer can cause it to rub against the timing cover.
2. **Inspect for Damage:** Examine the timing cover and the harmonic balancer for signs of damage. If either component is damaged, it may need to be replaced.
3. **Check for Loose Bolts:** Inspect the bolts that secure the harmonic balancer to the crankshaft. If any of these bolts are loose, tighten them to the manufacturer's specifications.
4. **Use Spacers:** In some cases, adding a spacer between the harmonic balancer and the crankshaft can help adjust the alignment and prevent rubbing. Consult your vehicle's service manual or a mechanic for guidance on the appropriate spacer size and installation procedure.
5. **Replace the Timing Cover:** If the timing cover is severely damaged and cannot be aligned properly, it may need to be replaced. This is typically a more involved and time-consuming repair.
6. **Seek Professional Help:** If you're unsure about diagnosing or fixing the issue, it's best to consult a professional mechanic. They have the expertise and tools necessary to assess and resolve the problem correctly.
Remember that allowing the harmonic balancer to continue rubbing against the timing cover can lead to more significant engine damage and potentially costly repairs. It's essential to address this issue promptly and accurately.

This is the bolt, but the answer is the size of the socket that fits it. If you don't have a full set of sockets and wrenches, doing job is impossible. If it is oversize, and I don't think it is, you can get larger specialized tool from Autozone for free and just a small returnable deposit.

1-1/4" or 32mm
buy and use a caliper to measure bolts.

Depending on the amount of room to the radiator / fan shroud it is not excessively difficult to do if you have the correct tools. You will need a 1/2 inch impact gun , harmonic balancer remover, screw driver, hammer. a piece of pipe the same size as the outside dia of the seal and a hammer along with a selection of spanners and sockets to remove the fan belt and anything else that will be in your way.. IF the balance is held on with a bolt then the easiest thing is the impact gun. the harmonic puller to pull the balancer off with, the pipe and the hammer to replace the seal. the screw driver to pry out the old seal

first you will need to remove the belt. then you might have to remove the electric fan. (depending on what engine you have) then you will need remove the bolt from the harmonic balancer. i think its a 21 mm. then you need to get a harmonic balancer pulley puller. you can rent one at your local auto parts store. install the puller and remove the harmonic balancer. then put new one on by using the bolt. reinstall all components in reverse. this one is pretty easy to do. please rate thank you.

Most fords are 15/16 inch. butyou didnt state the engine size. Youll also need a harmonic balancer puller and most parts stores can rent you one some times for no charge ( just pay for it and bring it back all together and you'll get all or most of your money back). with the balancer off you'll need to ut it or a new one back on You need a harmonic balancer installer to put it on as beating it back onewith a hammer will damage the balancer and the crank and even the whole engine. If you don't want todo all of this just take it to a mechanic that doesthis work all the time ad hasthe correct tools to do itright. Yes you can beat it off and back on but you'll likly do exensive damage. ( not always). If you don't have the right sized sockets andthe power impac to remove the bolt you had best just hire the job done as this is not a do it youself job unless your a regular ( work all day every day) mechanic.

there is an up dated sensor that you can purchase it fits on the pas side rear of engine at the trans bell housing near the top 2 13m wrench size bolts hold it on wiring harnes goes up and over motor then plugs into harness its a tight fit to get to on some engines

Unplug the injectors, and shoot starting fluid in it to see if that helps any. Pull the plugs to see if they are gas fowled if this doesn't start it up briefly.

not trying to be rude but do be sure the wheel is tight. a build up of corrosion on the wheel or hub could cause the wheel not to set n lug studs correctly. that would cause a knock noise and will shake the wheel
