How do I get to my balance shaft seals? How do I take off the front and rear balance shaft pulleys? I need to replace the seals but don't really know how to. I've searched but couldn't find much detail about how exactly it's done. any help?

 

for the front balance gear it should have a retainer u need to remove ... then there will be a hole in the shaft...stick a screwdriver to hold it and take off the gear bolt

the rear doesnt have a seal it has an oring behind the oil pump ... might be best to just pull the oil pump and replace the other smaller oring as well and the crank seal but you will need to drop the oil pan to remove the oil pump

you can get an timing belt seal kit if u do that it will have all timing belt seals and orings

 

Alright, sounds pretty straight forward. I found water in my spark plug well, not in the cylinder, and trying to figure out how that happened to get there.
