[76bonanza]

I am a learn as you go mechanic and I can say I have never had a balance off. So what you guys are saying is the balancer has a sleeve that goes over the crank and it is that sleeve that penatrates the seal in the cover?

I think I understand now. A few questions. To put on the sleeve I pull the balancer put sleeve over balance hub then press balancer back on? How can I tell if it is the seal or the balancer? I am looking for an easy fix right now. And to replace the seal I have to pull timing cover and water pump and all right?
