DO NOT DRAW IT WITH THE CRANK BOLT!!!!!! Use a damper install tool. I have seen to many times cranks with the threads pulled out do to this proceedure. Go to your local Napa and rent the tool. We sell thousands of these for a reason...............

I did just that, ripped the threads out of the crank using them for balancer install. The correct tool is very cheap and you will be suprised how easy the balancer goes on using it. Glad you found the prob.

Do not use the original crank bolt, I use a longer bolt with a nut and large washer, thread the bolt in first then draw on with nut and washer, never had a problem.

only will happen if your only catchin the first couple of threads. If you use a longer bolt and the mating surfaces are in good shape you'll be o.k.
