So my car died on me the other day and I was thining it was the crank angle sensor. I went to change it today and noticed one of the bolts that hold it had come off. Then I noticed why....my balance shaft belt snapped Well luckily it didn't get caught in the timing belt (hehe this is my second lucky break..no pun intended), but I don't want to risk it ever snapping again and getting caught in the T.B. So I want to eliminate it but was wondering if it was possible to pull the front shaft out while still in the car (2g)? If I'm going through all the trouble of eliminating the balance shafts I want to get rid of them both, instead of carrying around dead wieght.
