This should be an easy question for you ford guru's in here. To take off the timing cover, do i have to take off the balancer on the crank? And is it easy to put the balancer back on. This is on a 302W.

thanks in advance.

Yes, you need to pull the balancer to remove the timing cover. just be sure to replace the front seal. Not a big project, just have to remove most of the accessories, water pump etc to get to it.
