Same thing happened to me when I was removing the exhaust balance shaft. I ended up drilling and tapping the shaft. I screwed in the puller into it and was able to hammer it out. I did use a heavier weight on the puller, that 3lb one wasn’t enough.
Não acredito que pra tirar esse eixo fizeram isso..... Esse eixo vc tira com uma corda envolvendo o eixo dando pequenos impactos para fora ou com ferramenta especial....
Intake side has water pump gear on the other side that mounts to the balance shaft. You have take that off 1st before removing shaft. It is important to know that that bolt for the waterpump gear is reverse threaded.
The cylinder head oil return path is through the exhaust balance shaft enclosure. The plastic sleeve prevents the oil from coming in contact with the spinning shaft and foaming.
were there any codes and diagnostics used to identify this before you pulled the engine? or was there just a noise? was it like a clicking or a vibration that could be felt?
@@speedlinegarage rattling from the balance shafts? 🤔 Something does not add up. I have rebuilt few of these engines, and the ratting comes from either the tensioner failing, worn out timing chain, excessively worn out DSG flywheel ... But from the balance shafts, a rattle!?
@@mazpr2025 yes when oil screens get clogged and then starts to eat away at aluminum housing then shafts will start to sound like they are rattling. It does happen. Not often but does. Thats why I always tell people to make sure to flush whole engine before driving it long term after engine rebuild.
I have a 2010 Volkswagen GTI Mark 6 two-door I've been working on it off and on for the last 5 years. By trade on my master diesel mechanic so I know mechanics. I made 490 horsepower as of the TSI engine that I have forged rods forged pistons blow the head. She's an absolute Beast I get all kinds of looks from Dodge Challengers and chargers and srt's of Corvettes I beat them all pretty fast car
@@davidwickhamrc3899 yes but that does not answer my question on how you’re planning deleting balance shafts on EA888 since its an essential part of engine.
