Vibration Dampener Torque

[Nate C]

Anyone know the torque specs for putting one of these back on? Any tips for installing one? I have the puller tool can that also be used to re-install?

Use the installation tool I mentioned in your last thread. Looks like this:

 

They can be rented at your nearest auto parts store, just make sure you check the threads on the inserts before you take the tool to make sure you won't get blamed for damage.

 

I stick an expendable but strong screwdriver between the balancer and engine block (through the "spokes" of the balancer) to torque the crank bolt. Before you put the balancer back on make sure the woodruff key (the thing that sticks out on the crank snout) is present and undamaged.

Great tips thanks!, I'll tackle it tomorrow; I need a break from working on it. 

I need to post some updated pics - haven't been on here much since the re-build in 09'
