Vibration damper assembly

[Jim Yergin]

I am disassembling a D24 engine. I removed the cranshaft pulley/vibration damper asssembly. My Plymouth doesn't have one of these so this is new to me. There appears to be a rubber material between the front most edge piece and the thicker vibration damper section. However, I do not see how the assembly comes apart to replace the rubber piece. Can that be done? My shop manuals and parts books do not help.

Thanks.

Jim;

The internal rubber on a harmonic balancer is not replaceable at home. If it is in good shape re-use it. If it needs to be replaced contact someone such as "Damper Doctor" at the link below.

Many of the MoPar engines came without a damper. I have no idea why. I once had a '35 PJ with engine vibration problems. It didn't come with a damper. I put one on the engine with no appreachiable difference noted. I tore the engine down and had it balanced. No more vibration without damper. Runs soooooo smooooth!!
