Im having more fun installing this balancer, how did you guys holds yours from moving. I was using a screwdriver between the crankshaft pulley bolts but that method is not going to hold it anymore,but torque wrench isnt even clicking to the 70-90 torque spec before i start turning the whole engine over, so im assuming i need a better way of holding it, its about a half to an inch from flush to the timing cover.

Put the car in gear and have someone hold the brake. Works everytime.

Or, being REAL careful, use a 'C' clamp type vise grip on the flexplate (if you have auto trans).

or you can buy/rent a flywheel lock.. i believe it bolts on wehre the starter is and holds the flywheel.

dude, put the bolt on, tighten as much as you can before engine turns over, then smack the goddamn ratchet with a hammer a few times and that sucker is tight.


you guys ALWAYS overthinking the situation FTMFL of all time

LOL s'true. My engine was out of the car and I didn't feel like trying to hold it so I just put the impact on it... air power ftmfw
