The balance shaft assembly unbolts from the bottom of the block.

Just unbolt the entire assembly and remove the shims and dowel pins.

Theres a oil passage that you'll have to plug. Tap the hole for a pipe plug.

It'll be fine.

The engine will shake a little more, but I don't think it'll make that much of a difference.

Celicas with a 5S-FE don't have a balance shaft assembly.
