'93 Accord T-belt Service - Balance Shaft Gear Set????
Hi All,
Thanks for the excellent responses on the power steering hose problem. I brought this question up with Tegger off-list and he never heard of it. Before getting the service done, the shop mgr. started talking about the Balance Shaft Gear Case probably needing replacing. Has anyone heard of this? He said that it's common for high mile Honda's to need this by the time for 2nd t-belt. Now I've done a lot of background searches and have yet to read of this. I went along to the tune of $208.00 and labor in addition to the t-belt job, was this something that was truly needed? '93 Accord SE 224K miles. Thanks. Carl |

Isn't the balance shaft just that - a shaft. I don't think there are any
gears associated with it. It is usual to replace the balance shaft belt when you do the timing belt.

Well, I found the part in question on cheapesthondaparts.com, it's the
driven gear, rear shaft. Still, is this something that typically needs replacing on high mileage Accords? Just wondering.... Carl "E.

Thanks. > > Carl The seal in the balance shaft gear case could leak, requiring gear housing replacement. There's also an o-ring on the back side. Verify with the service writer if seal (not o-ring) leakage is the primary reason for replacement...HTH -- Mike |
