Thank you Catalina for the warning, but I doubt it will cause a problem, because I use the "repaired" balancer for almost 15 years without any problems. I would have changed it, but the part is/was expensive (I was a student when I pulled it) and the shipping to Germany makes it even more expensive. Mostly shipping, taxes and customs at least doubles the price. So I never thought about changing it, and now: It works and works and works.... for about 20.000 miles till now.
